Innovation vs. Entrepreneurship | Road to Revenue #52 Mar 22, 2021

Show notes

What is the difference or variance between an inventor, entrepreneur and innovator? Inventors are those who create new products. Entrepreneurs create companies around the products or ideas of others and are focused primarily on building shareholder value. Innovators are those who create new ideas or ways of doing things.

An innovator is someone who takes action or makes a dream into reality. An entrepreneur is someone who monetizes innovation. Know that you don’t have to be the innovator to be a successful entrepreneur.

Two Reasons Why Companies Fail:

1. Entrepreneurs often forget the number one rule of entrepreneurship, which is to stay in business. Every day, each of these entrepreneurs should think about how to take care of themselves in order to guarantee that they’re in business the next day.

2. Entrepreneurs don’t understand the difference between innovation and entrepreneurship. Great entrepreneurs don’t have to have a creative thought other than, “How do I monetize my ideas?” Or, “How do I monetize somebody else’s ideas?”

Reflecting on the Last Year of Accelerated Change Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

The last year has affected all of us, including my own team. Last March, I had to stand in front of a conference room full of my employees that I consider family, and convince them that this was going to be a huge opportunity.

We were about to enter a time of accelerated change, and the only thing that we had to do as a group was to understand that we had control of our mindset, our heartset, and implement and execute our skills, knowledge, and desire on what was going well and what will go well in the future.

We were going to make a lot of money, help a lot of people, and have a lot of fun. We were going to spread happiness and utilize the four values of gratitude, forgiveness, accountability, and inspiration in doing so.
