They often say that it takes visionaries and mavericks to make change happen, people who are not afraid to buck the system, or challenge the status quo in order to get new and exciting things done. Entrepreneurs tend to be such visionaries and often build businesses, products and innovations that go against the grain of the status-quo. And, they are definitely maverick - it’s part of their DNA. They have an inbuilt ability to envision what doesn’t yet exist, to challenge existing ways of doing things and ask tough questions about why things are made in a certain way when they could be done differently and better. It can be tough being a maverick in business and when your ideas fall on deaf ears in the early stages of getting your products and ideas out to market. But the important thing to remember is that most of the groundbreaking, trend bucking businesses that have shaped our world today, were created by mavericks that were passionate about what they were doing and who believed in their ideas despite all the naysayers in the early days. So, celebrate and harness your inner maverick, and surround yourself with others who share your approach to life and business.
