How do you become an entrepreneur? What are the qualities which help a young person to be successful in this challenging, ever-changing environment?
People take many different paths. But sometimes inspiration comes from the person closest to you, like your mother.
“When I was a kid,” shared Tom Davidson, the founder of EverFi, at another superb ConnectPreneur session featuring top DC entrepreneurs and venture capitalists, “my mother used to take us places and when she’d see someone working hard, she’d pull the car over, and pointed to the person, whoever it was at the moment, someone cleaning the street really well, and explained to us that this is the real key to success – working really hard on whatever place you are in life.”
