Entrepreneurship has given us Edison and Ford, Branson and Jobs. But has entrepreneurship seen its best days? We'll learn why its best days are still ahead -- and how a breakthrough discovery about entrepreneurial behavior is unlocking entrepreneurship's greatest potential around the globe.
A serial entrepreneur himself, Joe has started, grown and exited three companies of his own and invested in over 20 growing startups. He is author of Entrepreneurial DNA: The Breakthrough Discovery That Aligns Your Business to Your Unique Strengths (McGraw Hill 2011). He has been featured on FoxNews, CBS, NBC, CNN, ABC, WGN and numerous nationally syndicated radio shows on topics related to entrepreneurship and small business growth. Joe also serves as an advisor to entrepreneurship programs domestically and around the world.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I feel like I watched this at the right time, thank you for sharing and doing god's work in making us realise our strengths and where we should seek help
-
Why I haven’t heard this when years ago, one of the best videos.
-
You make me really excited as a young entrepreneur but i now realize why i seem to not move forward. Im 100% innovator 😂. Now i know who to surround myself with. Thank you! -Lasker Cruz
-
That really helped me accept myself more and know what to do. In short, be yourself (play to your strengths) and get others to fill you flaws.
-
Excellent information. Suddenly I am seeing my business a little more clearly. What Joe is saying here makes sense to me.
-
I am definitely the Innovator DNA and desperately need support from the other types. I've known it for some time now. So well put!
-
close your eyes and listen to Tony Stark giving a speech, you're welcome.
-
i got goosebumps of excitement looking at this
-
Wow, I never thought I needed such advice. Clearly I do and now I am finding people who work with me filling in my weaknesses. Awesome :)
-
Great talk! This makes so much sense. I wonder if it's possible to have more than one trait.

You hit a home run Joe! As a coach, I've been using the BOSI profile tool for the past 15 months. The first client I implemented this with is also hitting a homer these days. High "S" DNA - had a lot of financial pain. 15 months later, he's completed phase 1, paying himself appropriately and driving $ to his financial freedom plan. Now we're executing some M&A growth strategies and he's become happy and in control. What a transformation! Thanks for the technology!

The idea about 1 size not fitting all resonate with us - we will implement this concept to see how we can move through different phases of our business - appreciate!

I really love this kind of stuff, can't cram in enough of it!

Amazing! I wish I knew this years ago. I wouldn't have wasted my time with so many things.

<-- Builder and Driver personality so it makes a ton of sense. I'm an ENTJ as well.

Hubiera sido todo un éxito poder entender cada una de sus palabras, pero su comunicación en ingles y a la velocidad que iba lamentablemente para las personas que tratamos de obtener información de su video y no dominamos su idioma a perfección , se nos hace imposible entenderlo. sin substitutos en español, sin traducción al español, es una conferencias con sus limitaciones y o solo para una comunidad.

Very interesting information. Thanks
-
One size does not fit all entrepreneur. Very good insight Joe. Thanks.
