- Shark Tank investor Kevin O’Leary says only a third of people can become successful entrepreneurs. The multimillionaire has a warning for the rest of the working population: You can still have a “fantastic life,” but you’ll never achieve greatness or true freedom. For those who do want to lead a successful entrepreneurial career, O’Leary notes one trait to emulate that Elon Musk and the late Steve Jobs share: being able to separate the noise from the job at hand.
The prospect of being your own boss is a dream for Gen Z—inspiring many to launch their own businesses or take up blue-collar gig work. But millionaire Shark Tank investor Kevin O’Leary thinks most people will never cut it in entrepreneurship—and because of that, they’ll never be truly liberated from their corporate overlords.
