Inflexion Private Equity’s UK Entrepreneur of The Year Award Jury
James Berkeley
I am delighted to be returning for a second year to participate in the UK’s pre-eminent national business awards, as a judge with 12 fabulous nominees. In my experience, there are 12 traits that inform the “complete entrepreneur”. Here is three of my favourites:
- Self-determined. They do not rely on “handouts” from others to achieve success and they realise they can control their own destiny.
- Wealth perspective. They realise that money is the fuel for their dreams, not actual wealth, which includes freedom, independence and discretionary time to pursue interests that excite them.
- Presence. They immediately come across as socially adept and confident, not one dimensional. They are fun to be around, not a pain to hang out with.
