Is entrepreneurship a skill set or is it raw talent?
Entrepreneurship. Is it a skill set or is it raw talent? This was the debate that raged in the Cardone office and Grant sat down recently with Gary Vaynerchuk. During this visit, Gary said something to Grant that got his wheels turning. Gary said that entrepreneurship is in his DNA.
Which led Grant to ask, if entrepreneurship is a skill set or is it raw talent?
Grant’s been studying successful entrepreneurs for over 25 years and has found some very common traits among them. Entrepreneurship traits that are common among them all include discipline, persistence, persuasiveness, and a strong work ethic.
Grant believes each of those things can be trained.
When a child comes into the world, they don’t know anything. They begin to experience life and start to learn things. However, they don’t teach entrepreneurship in school. They don’t have courses teaching kids things like persistence and how to be successful. For most successful entrepreneurs, Grant included, it wasn’t until they committed to becoming a professional in sales that they began to study what it actually takes to become successful.
Cardone University was created because Grant believes that anyone can learn the art of sales, which is everything in the world of business. Created for this very purpose, Cardone University gives every individual the opportunity to learn the same skills that took GC from broke to owning and operating five companies that do $100 million dollars in annual sales.
