Panos Panay talks with Berklee Online’s Leah Waldo about why musicians make great entrepreneurs. He describes entrepreneurship as a state of mind and a willingness to be creative. Panay says the most important considerations of successful entrepreneurship align with the most successful considerations of being a successful performing musician: thinking about the audience and competitors, listening to your instincts with respect to who you collaborate with, thinking quickly and improvisationally, being able to put on a believable performance, and perhaps most importantly, failure can be an important part of the learning journey.
