Explanation behind the entrepreneur
She controls what she creates
She not only signed a deal that let her be intimately involved in the making of the films, but she even negotiated a special percentage of the profits. No movie merchandise is sold without her OK.
She doesn't get stuck in success
Most entrepreneurs will just float along and search for clients. As for Rowling, creation clearly isn’t only about success, but about stretching her boundaries. And yes it might create risk for bad things but it must give her a sense of renewed accomplishment only the pursuit of new ideas and the risk of failure can provide.
Does not believe in failure
Sometimes you can’t know what’s bad about your business unless everything stops working. Getting less and less repeat clients? You can ignore it, blame it on the economy, or blame it on your field. And that might be true, but it’s not useful. Instead, stop and say “I’m failing.”That’s a very scary place. But it’s humbling. “Failure meant a stripping away of the unessential,” Rowling says. You can start from scratch and rethink everything, return to the original passion that built your business in the first place.If you come back from failure once, you’ll never be as afraid of failure again.”
