“I always knew I could climb, but I knew I could only climb if I climbed alone”

I recently watched Martin Scorsese’s The Great Gatsby and I finally realized why my junior year high school teacher was so fixated on us understanding every aspect about the novel. The whole story is about the American Dream; about striving for success and reaching your goals. The whole idea of “new money vs. old money”, becoming successful and winning the girl of your dreams is imperative to Gatsby or any man in that matter.

What Can We Learn from Jay Gatsby? Well if you enjoy the art of business and understand what Gatsby did to get where he’s at, you should’ve picked up many signs in the film/novel on how to execute it properly. He was an ordinary man, but he didn’t want to be ordinary or good…he wanted to be great brother! Gatsby is indeed an EntreWolf because he knew what had to be done in order for him to succeed, he took risks, and he was a people person. In life, or for any young wolf who wants to do it on their own remember this…a good business man is a people’s person. Gatsby was generous, and threw notorious parties so people labeled him as a prosperous individual. Sometimes you got to do it on your own, keep going, don’t give up. To climb the ladder of success, work hard and you’ll reach it; and thats what we can take away from Jay Gatsby as America’s most lucrative EntreWolf in the 1920’s.
