It was another interesting Leadership Takeaway with this entrepreneur from St Louis in the United States. Tyler Douthitt has made it his profession to look for trends in the market and take some calculated risks with what type of businesses he invests mainly his time in.
I think we can all learn something from his fearless nature and single-mindedness that has allowed him to create a business that gives him more financial success than working for someone else. Along with less of the hassle and eventually less time spent in the business as it scales up.
