9-10 maj kommer jag, Jonathan och Rasmus att vara i Stockholm för att delta på Nordic e-commerce summit 2012. Det blir otroligt spännande. Bland talarna där finns några riktigt duktiga entreprenörer. Den mest intressanta är nog Gary Vaynerchuk. De övriga talarna har jag inte så mycket att säga om. Känner inte till dem så väl från tidigare.
Teman som intresserar mig mest på förhand i alla fall är förstås mäta och analysera och innehållsmarknadsföring. Så väl mött i Stockholm den 9-10 maj.
What is an entrepreneur? Who can and should become an entrepreneur? Lately I’ve been thinking a bit about these questions for no specific reason, just thinking…
This is how I see it. Entrepreneurs are people that have a strong will to change things. An entrepreneur need to have at least following skills: braveness, negotiation skills and a strong will. I think at the end of the day it’s not about who is the most talented or who has the highest education, it’s about who has the strongest will to DO and CHANGE things.
I will go back once again to the Apples Think Different campaign:
A very common thing among entrepreneurs and people when they get a good idea is that they want to keep it for them self. I can easy remember 10 times that I’ve heard someone say that they have come up with a really good business idea, but they can’t tell anyone about it. Does this sound any familiar to you?
I can admit that I thought this was the right way to do it also a couple of years ago. But since we started Genero I’ve really changed my attitude to this.
If you have a really great business idea. I think you should go out and ask everyone that possible can give some input. Ask people that have long experience of entrepreneurship, people that are in the same field etc. Don’t be afraid that they will go and execute your idea.
Because it’s not about the idea. It’s about the person! I really recommend this video for all entrepreneurs out there that is walking around keeping their idea to themselves. The key thing to remember is that, probably 1000 other people have tought about the same idea as you. It’s about you, about your capability to execute the idea. It’s about going from the idea stage to lead the business.
