Babson College's Leonard Green is a professor and enthusiastic entrepreneur involved in 14 businesses that run the gamut from thoroughbred horses to real estate and pet food. He's also enthusiastic about Donald Trump's popular reality show, The Apprentice. Green believes in the principles demonstrated in Trump's show, so much so, that he has convinced Babson to launch a class inspired by the The Donald's hit show.

"The Apprentice teaches great elements of entrepreneurship," says the professor, "Entrepreneurs must motivate and challenge their teams. Sometimes they also have to fire people who do not meet their expectations." Green, who stresses that entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart, offers this Top Ten List For Success:

1. You must be willing to take calculated risks.

2. You must move toward the edge and almost step over it.

3. You must truly utilize out-of-the-box thinking and rat-like cunning.
