Success as an entrepreneur

NB: I no longer give this talk…

In November 2011, I began a four-and-a-half-month journey with my wife and two children. We visited 32 Danish entrepreneurs in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Singapore, the Philippines and Thailand. We made video interviews with all of them and visited everyone from the racing driver from San Diegoto the brewer in New Zealandand Kai, who runs a hotel on a small island in the middle of the bush in northern Australia. Meeting the entrepreneurs made a huge impression on us, and afterwards I spent a lot of energy working out what they had done to succeed. That resulted in a six-point list of qualities and strategies that were all key reasons for their entrepreneurial success. I discuss those six points, with interesting cases and stories for each. Then I debunk some myths and finish with a motivational pep talk that gets people right out of their seats. If you have already booked the talk, here is some suggested text:

Martin Thorborg has conducted 32 interviews with Danish entrepreneurs abroad. Drawing on these interviews, he explains the six things that need to be in place for entrepreneurial success. It is all seasoned with fascinating stories about the entrepreneurs he met on his journey.
