Entrepreneurship is often lauded with stories of skyrocketing success which inspire us to think about our own careers and business experiences. This success and public profile sometimes come after one or two big setbacks, maybe in the wake of business lessons learned hard way and bankruptcies even.
My guest today is both an entrepreneur and someone who leads scores of budding entrepreneurs. Jack Delosa has personally trained, mentored, and presented live to over 245,000 entrepreneurs and companies including ASX200 companies, SMEs, governments, athletes, NRL and AFL clubs, celebrities, and some of the world’s leading entrepreneurs.
Jack has a string of accolades like being a five times AFR Young Rich Lister, a two-times-selling author, and the founder of Australia’s largest business coaching and training provider for entrepreneurs, The Entourage, which has a community of 650,000 members. Since 2010, The Entourage has helped members add over $2 billion in value to their businesses. Under his leadership, The Entourage has been awarded the 4th Best Place to Work in Australia, and the Top 50 in Australasia, by Best Places To Work.
Jack is also a high-profile investor, having invested in companies spanning biotechnology, luxury real estate, finance, e-commerce retail, recruitment, and even aviation, including one company that became what’s known in Silicon Valley as a ‘unicorn’; as in a business that goes from $0 to $1 billion within ten years.
Hear from Jack on:
- Are entrepreneurs born or made or is that too simplistic?
- What made you start The Entourage and how has that program changed and kept pace with what entrepreneurs need and want to know over the past 12 years?
- What qualities does a true entrepreneur have and who is your pick of the crop (favourite entrepreneur and why)?
- Do most entrepreneurs have to take big risks or fail fast, or can there be a slow-burn version of entrepreneurship that works well too?
- Takeaway: What is your overarching message for anyone facing The Politics of Entrepreneurs?
