* My mom & dad - Both didn't go to college, came to US in 1997 and have built a few businesses (smog shop, indian clothing, real estate, etc) and are doing much better financially than most educated, well-resourced people I've come across. They think in simple & practical ways.
* Rod Weckworth - Helped grow Rex Moore Electric from 2 people to 1000+ employees & $100M in sales before he exited the company. He also thinks in very simple concepts. Fundamental principles he calls them. He is also a very generous man with his time and his resources. It's funny how some people are so arrogant after a few accomplishments and some people are so humble even after many huge victories.
* 37 Signals - Their fundamental ideas & execution style work.
* Dan Millman - Author of The Way of the Peaceful Warrior. Even though it doesn't directly deal with entrepreneurship, the lessons it teaches about living life transfer well to the business world.
* Ron Sutton - Taught me about 50% of everything I know about marketing.
There are many more, but I need to get to my 5pm appointment so I'll leave you with a final thought, Recently, I haven't been looking to others to be my role model. I have been thinking about who I am and what I am capable to becoming... and making my future-self as my north-star.
Adios.
