I found Julie Meyer a very inspiration speaker and business women. She had some very interesting thoughts on the concept of being an entrepreneur and she’d found some great quotes to back up these ideas. I know that my short snippets don't do any other these speakers the full justice they deserve but I want to rely some of the points I took away from Julie which really inspired me:
*Leaders are people who create the conditions of trust so that great things can happen – Powell, ex-US Secretary of State. Trust in core values, in the working ethos. Trust in your team is very efficient but it must be verified by accountability.
* You can change the world. Entrepreneurs have brave optimism and believe that they have a unique contribution to add to the world.
*Life is not always fair. Do for the journey not for the destination.
*Be a sponge – will to learn not just win.
*Think big, start small but move fast! This is a core principle for start-ups who benefit greatly from a lean operating model. But don’t play small. Be fearless.
*Businesses with business models which enhance and grow the ecosystem will win.
*Listen/hone into and refine your instincts. You need to draw on your own experiences. As you grow don’t let ‘noise’ make you lose this ability.
*Persist in communicating your vision of the market. Self believe and confidence. In the beginning you are selling yourself to build a team around you and to get people to buy into your new offerings.
*Expect success!
