With 'Apprentice' you seem to be raising a 'scion' to your throne. What message would you want to give to 'wantrepreneurs' from India?
I believe there are 5 key traits - merely prerequisites in the world of entrepreneurship. First, integrity. A great entrepreneur knows how to build an enterprise with integrity as its core.
Second, law of attraction and that means the uncanny ability to identify, attract, and retain people and institutions who can accelerate success along multiple fronts. It means inspiring employees, customers, investors, partners, vendors, and everyone else necessary to join the mission and help the fruition of a vision.
Third is Culture - You cannot have extraordinary performance without a company/team culture that inspires greatness and unity.
Execution, in that a world-class entrepreneur is at ease with making major decisions without perfect information. True leaders must be fearless in striving to do the right thing for the people they serve, even if they may be misunderstood or ridiculed. Lastly, adaptability because like Charles Darwin said, it is the one that adapts most efficiently to the changing environment that survives. As entrepreneurs, one should listen, learn, absorb, adapt, and evolve every day. In the business world, humility is the key to learning. There are a multitude of other factors that are required such as grit, emotional intelligence, intellectual horsepower, common sense, leadership, street hustle. Ultimately, entrepreneurship is about changing the world. And it requires everything and more to do so.
