Spence Wilson at the Society of Entrepreneurs, Oct. 2

For Spence Wilson, there are two basic building blocks for successful entrepreneurship: passion and perception. To prove his point, he need look no further than his father, Kemmons Wilson, who founded the Holiday Inn chain and enjoyed a long and successful career. "My dad was a great example of someone who got up every day and loved what he did and devoted his life to it," Wilson said during a roundtable forum on Tuesday sponsored by the Society of Entrepreneurs. "I encourage entrepreneurs to make sure they love what they do and develop a keen sense of awareness about their business. Otherwise, they might as well forget it." Wilson, president of Kemmons Wilson Inc., was keynote speaker at the SOE forum held at the Crescent Club. He discussed expanding the family business and brand, which has resulted in investments in more than 400 different businesses. New media coverage of this event was provided by LunaWeb, Memphis leaders in Web design and social media, at www.LunaWeb.com.
