Anatomy Of Success: Greg Cangialosi

Much has been made of the mindset of an entrepreneur – a willingness to take risks, the ability to turn setbacks or dramatic failures into new opportunities, a hands-on approach to learning, and an internal engine that fires around the clock. The attention is well deserved. An entrepreneur’s determination and resiliency teach us how we too might persevere when our belief is tested, how we might eventually achieve our own goals.

Ultimately, however, we follow the example of an individual because of results achieved. When it comes to accomplishment, each entrepreneur is unique. Each has her own story to tell, his own career history. Our aim is to look closer at the composition of exceptional entrepreneurs and examine how their energies circulate, how their business muscles have been formed. Let’s go beneath the usual layers of advice and praise and explore the anatomy of success, studying the body of work of inspiring leaders.
