Hello,
These videos are great, motivating and inspirational! Thanks for sharing with us!
What I am missing is an example with a woman. Given the fact that a considerable number of the learners here are women, I think it would have been great if you had presented at least one female example.
What is your opinion?
Thanks for the feedback Orsolya! I totaly agree with with you! This would have been best. Kinds regards, Natasa
Hello
I watched the video of Lewis Howes former professional footballer(now entrepreneur) I am really convinced that Athletes are ambitious similar to entrepreneur and also they’re more able to handle the pressure and stress.
And as per video of Jeremy Bloom formar skier & footballer (now entrepreneur) I am convinced that Athletes are more mentally committed and they have experience of learning from mistakes.
I have gone through the some comments also, and if we club them the essence is that Athletes are:
More committed
More risks taking
More ambitious
More goal oriented
More focused
Full of jest
Can handle pressure/stress
Having much experiences of loose/defeats and Success
Ofcourse more Committed
Having more awareness of competitive field
Most of above knowledge parts are similarly required for a good entrepreneur also. So, above nutshell shows Athletes are on front foot than common people to become a good entrepreneur.
