Ideology in my Controversy

After doing a bit of research into entrepreneurship and specifically social entrepreneurship, I've started to see some trends in the ideologies of the people that are posting about entrepreneurship. It's interesting how like-minded this individuals are. Maybe that has something to do with their successes.

Most of the individuals involved in entrepreneurship and the articles that I've read are successful businessmen. Their experiences seem to range across all disciplines and areas of interest, but they all have fairly similar ideas about entrepreneurship. A few of the biggest names in entrepreneurship right now are Jim Rohn, Peter Drucker, and Elon Musk. These men aren't necessarily the best or the mosst known, but they are the names that I've come across the most over the last few days. They all have substantial economic power, although some were born into those circumstances and others are self-made millionaires. I think the social power that these individuals exhibit is the most impressive because people (mostly people that aspire to reach comparable levels of success) listen to what they have to say. One central ideology that I've noticed is they all have a set of core values: hard work, discipline, and having a clear vision. This seems to be the secret to their success and they repeat this values almost religiously when asked for advice. I'm sure between these icons there is some sort of power differential, but I can't really tell to what extent because they all seem super powerful and we regarded.
