If Peyton Manning were an entrepreneur, I’d like to be his angel investor. It's clear that many of the characteristics that make Manning a great quarterback would also make him a great entrepreneur. Here are nine characteristics of an entrepreneur that Manning personifies:
1. Be a visionary leader. Great entrepreneurs have the ability to see the big picture and, even more important, recognize the opportunities in that picture that other people don’t. I called this ability The Warren Buffett/Peyton Manning Secret Strategy in a 2010 CoBiz article. Buffett and Manning are both masters at having vision and seizing opportunities others never notice. What a valuable entrepreneur characteristic!
2. Have a maniacal focus. Great entrepreneurs have a maniacal focus on what’s important all the way through to the tiniest detail, especially in the early phases of building a business. Manning certainly has this characteristic; his attention to detail borders on obsessive.
