Big Vision of Young Entrepreneurs: A Journey to Breaking the Vision Barrier

This journalistic piece explores the big vision of young entrepreneurs. A simple discussion with a fellow entrepreneur sparked a journey for inspiration and to discover what was behind the big vision of young entrepreneurs. I interviewed several young entrepreneurs in Reno, Nevada and found that they all have huge visions and seemed to have similar personalities. I went on a journey to look for an answer to what sets these individuals apart from myself and other entrepreneurs. After looking at mega success stories, I began to see a commonality between the personalities of the super successful and the individuals I interviewed. I then found an answer to what this personality type is and I verified this finding by talking with a business coach and long-time economics professor. In the end I found that there are a few things that I can change that will allow me to be closer to these individuals' personality type and reach their levels of success, but there are also things that I cannot begin to replicate. This is a journey to try to break the vision barrier and to understand the big vision of young entrepreneurs.
