To be a successful entrepreneur based on Walt Disney's principles, one needs leadership skills, innovation, ambition, passion, and adaptability. Specifically, Disney emphasized not being influenced by others, taking action instead of just talking, believing you can achieve your dreams if you try, embracing constant change and focusing on the future, and viewing creative projects as ongoing works that are never truly finished. He also felt that good leadership requires having earned others' trust through demonstrated qualities like judgment, wisdom and competence.
