American tennis ace Venus Williams believes athletes make for great entrepreneurs as both sport and business needs good strategy.


Apart from being a tennis player, Williams is the CEO of interior design company, VStarr Interiors and athletic wear brand, EleVen. And the World No. 13 feels that the tactical skills she has developed playing the sport are similar to what she uses to achieve success in business.
