"Entrepreneurship is in our DNA", writes entrepreneur and co-founder of DreamIt Ventures, Steve Welch, in his passionate and insightful book We Are All Born Entrepreneurs. The author describes the common traits shared by successful entrepreneurs, including a lifelong desire to learn new and innovative ideas, and how these traits lead to the essential skills that turn passion into real achievement.
Steve Welch considers entrepreneurship to be part of everyone's character. For various reasons, many people find that entrepreneurial drive sidetracked by a mistaken belief that life is somehow a zero sum game. In a zero sum game, there is a clear winner and clear loser, and what one person wins is always at the expense of the other. For Steve Welch, this point of view is incorrect. He considers life and entrepreneurial success to be a cooperative non-zero sum game, with multiple winners. With this change in worldview, that innate entrepreneurial passion can be rekindled and a purpose of life can be brought to every part of the person's life. Through deliberate practice, in the form of life long learning and a constant honing of skills, an entrepreneur's rate of success will increase, benefiting all of society.
Steve Welch (photo left) understands that when a person realizes their inborn entrepreneurial heritage, as part of their DNA, then the zeal and passion for success can be turned into a business or organizational success. The awakened entrepreneurial skills common to all successful people, are described by the author, through both theory and examples of real life people. These traits include:
* Locus of control
* Singularity of purpose
* Ambiguity tolerance
* Need to achieve and to learn
* Resilience
Taken together, according to Steve Welch, these traits transform into entrepreneurial skills that include:
* Calculated risk-taking
* Confident leadership
For me, the power of the book is how Steve Welch shares his absolute love and passion for entrepreneurship, and those of the successful people featured in the book, with his readers. The book is not about creating blueprint for building a company through a step by step process. Instead, the author focuses on developing the skills, that lead to entrepreneurial success, through the inborn traits shared by successful people. Steve Welch shares the inspirational success stories of entrepreneurs who achieved greatness, despite often overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The author emphasizes the importance of teams, and of collaborating with other highly motivated people, to achieving a stronger economy and greater opportunities for many people.
I highly recommend the inspirational and transformational book We Are All Born Entrepreneurs by Steve Welch, to anyone serious about unlocking their innate entrepreneurial DNA, and achieving success in business and every aspect of life. Steve Welch recognizes that there is no one path to success, making the book's message even stronger because of the encouragement of innovation and diversity of goals.
Read the book that will help you unlock the power of your inner entrepreneur, We Are All Born Entrepreneurs by Steve Welch, and ignite the spark to your passion that leads to success. This book will serve as powerful and supportive guide as you take the jump into entrepreneurship, and live the journey to achieving your goals.
