It’s time for another poll here at Young Entrepreneur! This time time we’d like to know:
Who is your business role model?
Is it a relative? Is it an old family friend? Is it someone you’ve never met before?
Who do you look to for business advice and try to emulate?
I’d love to get your feedback and put together a list of the top role models for young entrepreneurs.

Great poll. My business role model is definitely my grandpa who has had a plethora of entrepreneurial success and most importantly, did it the right way through hard work, ethical relationships, and being smarter than everyone else (seriously, I wish I was 1/100 as smart as he is).
Here is my question: Is a role model someone you look up to and possibly emulate their skills? Or is a role model someone you want to become?
Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research on this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such fantastic information being shared freely out there.
