Outstanding Entrepreneurs innovate, create, manage, and control a firm and are willing to take risks. The term entrepreneur comes from the Sanskrit phrase “Antarprerana”, meaning “inspiration from within.” All successful entrepreneurs are self-motivated and recognize their internal drive. Be it Jeff Bezos or Lionel Messi, you’ll find the same powerful traits in all top-performing entrepreneurs and sports champions. That uphill task can only come from a person driven by inspiration from within, day in and day out. In this article I’ll talk about those secrets that help the star performers remain as stars. Here we go. The Inner Drive and Winners “The Gold Mine Effect” is a bestseller authored by Ramus Ankersen. It shows how he cracked the secrets of high performance among top sports personalities coming specifically from six small countries. He travelled around and trained in those six “gold mines” that churn out top performers in an assembly line fashion. I found an uncanny similarity of those situations during economic turbulence that show a growth of self-made millionaire and billionaire entrepreneurs. Bekoji, an Ethiopian hamlet, produces the world’s top middle-distance runners. South Korea produces 35% of the world’s greatest female golfers. At Kingston in Jamaica, a single athletic club, has produced most of the world’s top sprinters. Russia was a country with an ordinary tennis reputation. In matter a few years it has generated 25% of the world’s top 40 women’s ranking list. Iten is a Kenyan hamlet that produces the world’s top long-distance runners. Brazil, where a vastly disproportionate number of the world’s top football players originate from. His takeaway was, in his words: “It is my profound conviction that regardless of whether you are engaged in developing high performance as an executive, a coach, a teacher, a parent, a musician or an athlete, one of the greatest danger is in become locked in to a particular way of viewing the world; in becoming mired in routine. We all need to rinse our eyes. I’m convinced that everyone, wherever they may come from, has an inner drive; a desire to live out their full potential and to make a difference in the world.” This article revolves around the idea of awakening inner drive, to go along a fail-proof way to become a top performer in any field. Nowadays, Rasmus is teaching organizations how to build their own gold mines of world-class performance, through real life examples and result driven insights. He lives in London.
