Michael Jordan

When I say the nickname “Air Jordan” we immediately think of the same man, the same man

that is considered to be the best athlete the world has ever seen, Michael Jordan. He was a

professional basketball player that led the Chicago Bulls to 6 championships, a feat few

players have done over their careers. Over his career, he was known for his scoring ability

and incredible athleticism but what stood out even more was his mentality that allowed him

to be successful on and off the court. Jordan had a clear set of values that he followed

everyday and referred to as “the ingredients of success”, this values are;

These values put into a sentence would look like this: people who are able to back their ideas

with hard work, a positive attitude and faith are very successful (Connors,2016). We can see

examples of this mentality throughout Jordan's life, in his youth, he was famously cut from

his high school basketball varsity team and ended up being the greatest player in the history

of the sport. In the present, he is the most successful athlete ever with a networth of over 1

billion dollars.

We, as entrepreneurs/future entrepreneurs, need to take notes on how Jordan was able to

translate the same mentality that made him the best basketball player into an equally great

business man and try to implement what I believe to be Jordans mission statement into our

everyday lifes, “Don't wait for your dream to happen, MAKE it happen”.
