THE ENTREPRENEURS’ WAY OF THINKING

 

O’LEARY PATH AS AN ENTREPRENEUR
The success of an entrepreneur is not built on just by a day.
An entrepreneur goes through alot of endurance to meet that 1st million dollar. Unless you have inherited this much.
It got me thinking how do the Shark tank stakeholders make it to the level of lending to potential entrepreneurs and I did abit of research on the background of shark tanks.
Most of them had a rough time to reach a point where they have enough to invest in exchange of stock holding.
I consider them to be real mentors to that little one who always dreams to be wealthy from entrepreneurship point of view.
Kevin O’Leary a shark tank stakeholder was born in 1954 in a family which embraced business.He learnt most of his business intuition from his mother. She taught him key business & financial insight from an early age. These became Kevin’s core philosophies & the pillar upon which he would one day build his empire.
THE TURNING POINT
Kevin’s approach to business went through major changes as a teenager.During his 2nd day on the job at a local ice cream shop, his boss came into the front of the store where Kevin was scooping ice cream. She looked at Kevin & asked him to perform a task that he wasn’t expecting. What happened next had a profound effect on Kevin, one that stayed with him for the rest of his life.
FOUNDATION OF AN EMPIRE
As a university student, Kevin innate business sense led him along several different paths including some very unusual, very entrepreneurial ways of making a profit.
Not long after he finished his MBA, Kelvin had a meeting that changed his life forever.He met a man who had a strange idea for a software product. An idea with huge, high-profit potential that Kevin immediately recognized. After years of ups and downs, sacrifices, challenges & lessons learned not to mention a critical phone call that Kevin nearly cost him everything. The opportunity that he saw eventually turned into a computer software giant that was acquired for more than $4 billion.
Kelvin after obstacles & legal dispute. Eventually found himself on television, quickly becoming a sought-after host & personality on a range of shows including discovery ‘s Project Earth, CBC’s, Dragoon’s Den & ABC’s Shark tank.
Kevin has since launched O’Leary funds, an investment company; O’Leary fine wines; & a best selling book series on financial literacy.
Kevin O’Leary knows that to get rich, you need to get financially literate first.
