Business Leaders of America

Jay Lillie
Entrepreneurial leaders do not have a mindset that adapts to

failure. Things go wrong, of course, but entrepreneurs don´t

call them "failures" they call them "glitches, mistakes,

bungles, setbacks", but not failing.

When one such entrepreneur was asked about the hardest decision

he ever had to make, he answered that he didn´t know what a hard

decision was. An entrepreneur will approach decision-making with

the idea that there´s a strong likelihood that he/she will be

wrong. This doesn´t dissuade them to the contrary they just

do the best they can and worry about handling obstacles as they

arise.

Here are a few top entrepreneurs in the U.S.
