@richard.harpin: 40 years building and investing in businesses. Thousands of entrepreneurs met. The signs of success are never what people expect. It’s not ego. It’s not confidence. Here’s what actually predicts it. First, something extraordinary in childhood. A big sporting achievement, overcoming adversity, running businesses young. Second, someone of real influence who shaped their skills early on. Third, a constant stream of questions. Genuine curiosity. Fourth, resilience, courage and persistence. Look for these four and you’re looking at someone who’s going to win.

I have 3 of things but no mentor at all - dad alcoholic took me to the pub after school and mum worked away for months of the year.

This is why ai is going to make a difference. A lot of people have 3 of those qualities but miss the personal development aspect of a mentor, and I suspect ai will help plug that gap.

The mentor piece is the one most people underestimate. Curiosity and resilience you can build on your own. But having someone further down the road who believes in you before you believe in yourself — that's the real accelerant. Seen it in every founder who broke through early. And that relationship usually started long before either person knew it mattered.

If a child runs several businesses it truly is a dead give away he will be succesful. This man has to be joking.

Donald Trump without these still made the business 😂 Real secrets are 1. Have rich family and friends 2. Corruption 3. Repeat

Disagree with the child part. Many of the best entrepreneurs started from very limited support and poor backgrounds. Agree with resilience, persistence and curiosity.

BS 👀 Believe in yourself, is the one thing that will keep you going, believe in your project, or whatever you are creating. The same in adversity, if going through tough times, keep going, because it is temporary.

Defining "successful" would be a good first start... its not what he's talking about.
