Do you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur? When we think about entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs there may be a number of beliefs, values and characteristics that come to mind. For example, entrepreneurs are high-achieving risk-takers with lots of money. They are often high-tech wizards who prefer to work alone and are motivated by the potential to get rich quick. Such ideas can be off-putting to the aspiring entrepreneur especially if these traits don't fit with your own situation, ethos and values. But is it all actually true? Do you have to match the stereotype of the entrepreneur to be successful? In this Enterprise Tuesday session, we aim to debunk common myths and misconceptions. We talk with experienced entrepreneurs – all of whom have thriving businesses - about why they chose the entrepreneurial path, how their beliefs and values influenced their journey and what the key elements were that enabled them to be successful.
