  • 0:02 - 0:04
    What does it take to be an entrepreneur?
  • 0:04 - 0:08
    Three things. Passion. 
    Perseverance. And follow through.
  • 0:08 - 0:14
    Nothing else matters.
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    Entrepreneurship is about solving a problem.
  • 0:17 - 0:21
    It's taking action when others 
    are deterred by the unknown.
  • 0:21 - 0:26
    Not a lot of people consider entrepreneurship 
    as a career. I'm working to change that.
  • 0:26 - 0:30
    I lead a team that conducts and applies 
    research to cultivate entrepreneurs.
  • 0:30 - 0:34
    By exposing them to the right opportunities 
    and connecting them with others
  • 0:34 - 0:38
    we can Inspire ideas and conversations.
  • 0:38 - 0:42
    If there's one thing I've learned, it's 
    to never bet against an entrepreneur.
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    In my work, I don't predict outcomes.
  • 0:45 - 0:49
    It's best to give people the tools 
    they need to forge their own path.
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    To be trusted to lead when there is no blueprint.
  • 0:52 - 0:58
    The future creators of companies, 
    products, and services are all around us.
  • 0:58 - 0:59
    They may just not know it yet.
  • 0:59 - 1:03
    I'm encouraging a new generation of 
    entrepreneurs, maybe that includes you.
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    I'm John Eckhardt, professor of 
    management and human resources,
  • 1:06 - 1:16
    at the Wisconsin School of Business at UW-Madison
  • 1:16 - 1:16
