THE 3 COMPETENCIES ALL
ENTREPRENEURS NEED TO BE
SUCCESSFUL CONTINUED...
One of the more creative and challenging things about writing a book is coming up
with a great title. So coming up with this title of See, Do, Repeat is kind of an
interesting story because the way that I teach entrepreneurship and the way that I
teach opportunity recognition includes this idea that we have to gather a lot of
material together and then allow our brain to process it: to connect the dots, to come
up with creations and innovations. So, like my students, I tried to walk the talk. The
title actually came to me when I was out running one day because I had done tons of
research, spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to share these three
competencies in a very simple way with a very large audience. I gave my brain the
opportunity to process what I was learning while I was out running and came up with
this idea of See, Do, and Repeat. See refers to the ability to recognize, identify and
recognize opportunities to see the world through an opportunity lens. Do refers to the
willingness to take action because entrepreneurship doesn't happen without that.
And repeat refers to the fact that virtually every entrepreneurial journey is going to
have a wide variety of challenges along the way. And so successful entrepreneurs are
able to execute past failure, which means again, that persistence and that willingness
to keep going. See, Do, Repeat, the practice of entrepreneurship, is the title that came
out of all of that.
