Dave Bing
Dave Bing is a very inspirational man. He speaks extremely well and seems very passionate about what he does. He started off at Syracuse Private College, studied economics and marketing, and played twelve years in the National Basketball Association. Dave was the first African American to win the Heisman Trophy. After his career in the NBA he found himself back in the world full of entrepreneurs. He is a Jack of all trades and has lots of great advice.
A couple of points that Dave emphasized on were: An entrepreneur always has to have access to capital. An entrepreneur has to know and understand what his or her own talents and weaknesses are so he or she can surround themselves with the right people to do the jobs that they might not know how to do. Be ready and willing to take lots of risk. Never be afraid to fail it will keep you from doing anything. Failure comes along with the job.
As of right now Dave Bing is in the steel industry and does not plan to retire anytime soon. He called it “coasting” for the moment. I believe his idea of coasting would be any normal persons idea of working really hard.
