Entrepreneurship Competencies:
- Innovative business modelling. The ability to manipulate existing business models to yield Blue Ocean offerings that are uncontested
- Risk taking. No guts no glory. Enough said
- Networking. Think Web 2.0. Do whatever you do with Facebook and Twitter. It’s easier. And more fun.
- Customer Insight. Business models revolve around providing value to customers. Very often this is hidden in plain sight. Or smell. Imagine the invention of the first roll on deodorant.
- Persistance. You will likely fail. At first. And you will likely not succeed ever if you do not try again.
