If he would have created a new game, he would be an entrepreneur.
- achompas 16y agoTrue, but his suggestions on competing at the highest level definitely apply to startups.
- tdmackey 16y agoBeing a good athlete is only part of what he did. He also created a brand around himself becoming far and away the most marketed sports figure in history that generated billions of dollars and boosted sales of many brands he was affiliated with. That doesn't happen by just optimizing your ability to play a game.
- macco 16y agoBut he did no innovating - what is the of entrepreneurship. By the way it is dangerous approach to try to get as good as Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Roger Federer at anything. You have to be the best in the WORLD. Very high risk strategy.
- lian 16y agoThe Michael Jordan approach, however, is one that is as aptly applied to entrepreneurship as it is to optimizing your abilities and success in any realm. He's created a product called Michael Jordan, and that product has proved unarguably to be a game-changer, if not an entirely new game itself.
