Who Do Successful Entrepreneurs Look Up To?

By Sab on 3 March 2011 at 23:19 in Careershifters Blog

This article asks successful entrepreneurs and small business owners who their role models are. It's a great source of inspiration and may get you thinking about who your role models might be, whether you are changing career to entrepreneurship or not.

I really wanted to share you this quote from the article by Tate Chalk, the Founder and CEO of Nfinity:

"I'll tell you who I really respect are the thousands of people everyday who 'lay it on the line' by giving up a 'good' career for something better. For those people, who despite their friends and family telling them they are crazy, get out there and make something happen. I am always in awe when I hear those stories. Every success had to start at some point with courage. I just love those stories."

We love those stories too!
