Entrepreneurs of the month — July 2020
Business has been around ever since people started exchanging goods and services.
Initially, an entrepreneur was defined as someone who built and/or owned buildings and lands. This is still true today, only that now the term has extended its meaning to someone who builds and owns businesses.
Entrepreneurs create jobs, buy real-state for offices or shops and without them, there would be less creativity in the business world.
Workers bring value at specific jobs and tasks, while entrepreneurs and business owners bring value at a macro level.
In other words, entrepreneurs use their keen sense of opportunity to bridge the gap between manufacturing/sales and the final consumer, while keeping both satisfied.
Each month we’re going to look at which are the best entrepreneurs from marketing and real-estate. Most entrepreneurs work 7 days per week, and they hustle for years to achieve their goals while interacting with thousands of people annually, both face to face and online.
When it comes to real estate, we’re going to look at the stars from Million Dollar Listings New York, which is a two-time Emmy nominated American reality television series on Bravo.
The series follows the lives of four luxury real estate agents, Ryan Serhant, Fredrik Eklund, Luis Ortiz and Steve Gold as they represent property owners in New York’s five boroughs.
We’re going to kick-off things with an individual who is actively involved in marketing, and then we’re going to go through the stars of the above-mentioned reality show.
