MBA2721 Are You Cut Out For Business?

Are you asking yourself, are you cut out for business? Do you have what it takes? Most people get this question completely wrong. They think it's about personality, about being an extrovert or charismatic or a born entrepreneur where, you know, their parents taught them how to earn a dollar with a lemonade stand. No. Being cut off for business has nothing to do with personality and everything to do with behavior. And today, I'm gonna show you exactly what it takes to make it as an entrepreneur.

I built a multimillion dollar SaaS company from scratch, sold it for life changing money. I taught on this podcast for over eleven years. I've published over 2,700 podcast episodes. And I can tell you with full certainty, successful entrepreneurs are not special. They're just willing to do things most people don't. If you cut out six traits, six traits that separate them, I'm gonna share all six starting with trait number one, you take responsibility for your life.

You don't blame your family. You don't blame the economy. You don't blame the fact that you're a minority. You don't blame the fact that you didn't grow up with money. You don't blame anybody but yourself. You take responsibility and say, no matter what, I have to take control. It's my responsibility to make something happen. This is on me. …
