Is Entrepreneurship Teachable?

One of my favorite aspects about leading Meathead Movers is watching our driven student-athletes evolve from college students into young professionals.  I am frequently asked for my opinion on their various business ideas and career paths, as well as what it is like to be an entrepreneur.  As we’re having these sort of discussions, I can sense they are mentally pondering; “Can I do this?  Can I own my own business?”  

I think the word “entrepreneur” often conjures up a mythical image from the outside looking in, but to me, entrepreneurship is fundamentally simple.  Entrepreneurship is about creating a sustainable competitive advantage and value for all involved, coupled with the dedication to do whatever it takes to make it work.   I believe that person must have a burning desire to achieve, and that desire usually stems from the one's past experiences and the way that one is mentally wired. 

My brother and I both knew from early on that we had to be self-reliant in order to live the life we wanted.  We also feel a deep passion to provide an honest, safe and enjoyable moving alternative to the typical low-cost, bait-n-switch tactics that the moving industry is riddled with.  Having personally spoken with thousands of clients who have felt wronged by other moving companies' business practices, it reaffirms my desire to do good for our customers, our Meatheads, and the community.  We want people to know that not all moving companies are going to put criminals in their home, hold their items hostage for more money, and make moving worse than it has to be.  Knowing our competitors,  the moving process, and the Meathead Differences; it is easy to see that Meathead Movers offers a great service for even the most discerning customer.   Want honest moving reviews; take a look at what our previous customers have to say.

It's not whether one can be taught entrepreneurialism, rather the question is "how do I find my sustainable passion? " I hope everyone can find it someday, because it turns your mindset from 'having to go to work' into 'the privilege of being involved in building something great'.
