Many of this year’s World Entrepreneur Of The Year country winners share a willingness to suffer doubt and potential failure, a special genius for recognizing an unmet need and a knack for hiring people who have the same sense of mission.
The world’s leading entrepreneurs are a diverse group – no two of them followed the same path to success, and each has a unique spark. But in the broad array of their experiences are commonalities – a willingness to suffer doubt and potential failure, a special genius for recognizing an unmet need, and a knack for hiring people who have the same sense of mission.
These traits form a picture of how entrepreneurs think and act. We spoke with many of this year’s World Entrepreneur Of The Year (WEOY) country winners to explore some of their experiences, to talk about how they are coping in the current economic environment; what they think of government stimulus spending in the economy; and what the future holds, not just for entrepreneurship, but for the global economy.
