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