Evan Carmichael argues IQ has little to do with entrepreneurial success. University professors typically have high IQs but rarely become rich entrepreneurs, and many fail at business. Working smart matters, but raw intellectual ability isn't what makes founders succeed.
Where does smarts, where does hard work play a factor in building a business, being successful online as an influencer, or whatever it may be?
Intellectual ability has very little to do with success as an entrepreneur. If you're saying working smart versus working hard, that might be something a little bit different. If having a high IQ was the thing that made the difference, then every university professor would be super rich, and they're not. And most of them suck at being entrepreneurs. I think IQ maps very poorly to entrepreneurship.
