One of the Best Entrepreneur Lessons: Keys to Being Truly Visionary

May 17, 2013

One of the most powerful entrepreneur lessons you can learn is discovering it’s the driving force behind your vision — not the vision itself —  that’s truly important.


You might be surprised to find out that becoming recognized as a visionary has very little to do with actually coming up with a vision. Offering another one of their valuable entrepreneur lessons, Brant Cooper and Patrick Vlaskovits, co-authors of the New York Times bestseller The Lean Entrepreneur, point out that ideas alone don’t make great innovators.

While vision, itself, isn’t as critical to becoming a visionary as you would assume, in order to be a successful entrepreneur you still have to find a way to find an advantage and separate yourself from the pack. In this short video, Cooper and Vlaskovits look back on one of America’s most heralded entrepreneurs and visionaries and show that, despite all his deserved success, it wasn’t necessarily his ideas that truly set him apart.
Future and current entrepreneurs take note — The Lean Entrepreneur offers lessons and ideas you can’t afford to miss.
