How to be a Visionary Entrepreneur in 2026

What does it really mean to be a visionary entrepreneur?

In this episode of Time We Discuss, I sit down with Jeff Borschowa to break down what it is actually like working as a visionary entrepreneur. We explore how visionary entrepreneurs diagnose problems, build powerful networks, leverage the Pareto Principle 80-20 rule, and create growth without necessarily executing every step themselves.

If you have ever wondered how to become an entrepreneur, how to think more strategically in business, or how to double revenue without doubling costs, this conversation is packed with practical insights.

Jeff shares:

• The difference between a visionary entrepreneur and a business owner
• Why collecting people and building a network is critical
• How the Pareto Principle 80-20 rule drives business growth
• Why mentorship matters and how to find the right mentor
• How organizations like Enactus and SCORE help young entrepreneurs
• Why resilience and risk tolerance are essential traits

Whether you are a student, early in your career, recently laid off, or already running a business, this episode will challenge you to think differently about entrepreneurship.

If life gives you lemons, sell lemonade and lemon tarts.

Watch now and decide if visionary entrepreneurship is for you.
