Role Model?

[stephenallen]

So Just a quick question.
Do you guys have lets say 'Entrepreneurial' role models?
Is it a famous one like Steve Jobs , Richard Branson or is it a local one that has really influenced you?

Good question. Here's 3 of the entrepreneurs I class as role models:

- Jack Liu: Now this is going to make me sound like a suck up, but I find Jack really inspirational! Plus the fact that he runs such a great forum and offers great opportunities for the members. The blog area has helped me a lot, and I think he's going to be a big name entrepreneur after he pulls off the awesome Teen Business Summit.

- Gary Vaynerchuk: Who doesn't love Gary Vee? He understands business, social media, and technology (three areas I'm deeply interested in) really well, and he's not scared to share the secrets to his success. Much love Vee.

- David Di Franco: I've been a fan of David and his videos for a while, and those who don't know him and who are interested in Technology, go watch his videos now. He really does live his passion, something I admire, and has a great understanding of social media.

What about you guys?

I don't know, I don't really have a role model although recently I was inspired by Mark Zuckerburg and how he invented facebook and how much trouble he went through with it.

I would say all of the above really. Although my particular favourites would have to be Richard Branson or Lord Allan Sugar.

@ cec
Yeah there aren't too many people who could do what jack does and do it as well.

I personally like richard branson for the fact that he began his first business at the age of 16!! Although I generally admire different qualities in lots of different entrepreurs!!

@Stephen Yes Richard Branson is also a great inspiration to me, the way he's managed to expand Virgin is incredible! Also the fact that he can delegate perfectly. He's a true entrepreneur.

Classic people like Richard Branson, Alan Sugar, Steve Jobs etc. but also some family members, especially my dad, who run their own businesses and who inspired me to start up to begin with.
