According to the Kauffman Index Series, which is a study that measures people and businesses that contribute to America’s economy, the rate of people becoming entrepreneurs has steadily risen since 2016. Our work-driven culture encourages us to try our hand at becoming a start-up leader but how can you know whether being a founder of a company is really for you? Derek Lidow, a successful entrepreneur who now teaches entrepreneurial leadership and creativity, innovation, and design at Princeton University, has recently come out with a new book called Building on Bedrock: What Sam Walton, Walt Disney, and Other Great Self-Made Entrepreneurs Can Teach Us About Building Valuable Companies.
Building on Bedrock uses examples from the lives of famous entrepreneurs including Sam Walton (where Lidow had exclusive access to the Sam Walton archives), Walt Disney, Estee Lauder and Ray Kroc to understand what it takes to become a trailblazer and an innovator.
