Entrepreneurship & Ways Of Thinking About Risk
Patrick de Nonneville was born in Paris, France. He grew up in a family of entrepreneurs and business founders.
All of his brothers began their own companies right after school. His grandfather has started several businesses.
After working at IBM, his father also started some companies of his own. Some of them worked out. Others didn’t.
This gave de Nonneville a very real appreciation for what entrepreneurship and running businesses is like from the inside.
At a very young age, he saw that great success was possible.
At least if you’ve done plenty of homework on your market, are willing to take big risks, get lucky, and put in enough hard work.
He also witnessed firsthand that you can put a lot of passion and intense hard work into something, and sometimes it just doesn’t work out.
Entrepreneurship was in his DNA, but the struggles also initially made him resistant to pursuing the calling.
Instead of startups he initially set his sights on more traditional career options.
As a teenager, he was invited for a week of work experience at the Paris Stock Exchange. An experience that set him on a new trajectory.
