Want to build a life and business around doing what you love? Me too. Let’s connect.

If you could interview 200 of the top entrepreneurs in the country, do you think you’d find some similarities?

Amy Wilkinson guessed that she would.

And she did.

Over 5 years of research later, she just came out with a new book that examines the top 6 traits that very successful entrepreneurs share.

So of course I had to have her come talk on The School of Greatness.

Amy is a brilliant woman who has worked at the White House and co-founded a company in Silicon Valley (as well as taught at Ivy League universities).

In our conversation, we discuss these top traits and Amy gives awesome (real life) examples to illustrate each one.

I used our conversation as a checklist to see what I was doing right AND what I can improve on.

I invite you to do the same in Episode 173.

    5. Network minds – bring diverse brain power to you
