Dane Maxwell, the author of the book, used the Hexaco model to develop his own traits and achieve success as an entrepreneur.
Other entrepreneurs who have used the Hexaco model have also achieved success and built successful businesses.
The Hexaco model was developed through a study of 30 entrepreneurs who had achieved significant success in their businesses. The study identified the common traits among these entrepreneurs and developed a framework for understanding and developing these traits.
