“In my experience, some of the biggest obstacles to becoming a successful entrepreneur aren't financial or structural - they are internal and psychological. It's important for dreamers to believe in themselves and their ideas, to fend off the skeptics and find others who will share in their dreams. Once you understand that being called "crazy" is a compliment, you realize that you can get beyond other people's opinions and zig when others zag.” BelieveImportantDreamRealizingOpinionSuccessfulShareCrazyEntrepreneurFinancialObstaclesPsychologicalComplimentDreamerSkeptic Author:Linda Rottenberg
“The most important lesson of all: Go home. Make time for the ones you love. The easiest thing to think about living like an entrepreneur is that these skills apply to only one part of your life: your job. That's a mistake. In the same way that entrepreneurs are redefining many of the traditional rules of the workplace, they're also helping to break down one of the most stubborn boundaries of all, the one between work and family. While it's popular to say you can have either a successful career or a meaningful personal life, I'd like to suggest you can aim for both.” ThinkingImportantHelpingHomeMistakeBreakSuccessfulAimEntrepreneurMeaningfulBoundariesWorkplaceStubbornPersonal LifeBreaking DownMaking TimeSuccessful Career Author:Linda Rottenberg
“Agile leaders encourage their teams to adjust and experiment constantly. In today's age of oversharing, the best leaders also have to be more open and accessible. To be effective, you also have to be aware of how others perceive you and cop to your flaws every now and then. One of the lesson to successful leadership may be quite challenging but very important. Expose yourself. Allow yourself to be vulnerable - less super and more human. These "Leadership 3.0" practices, as I call them, are critical to being an effective manager when you're getting started in today's world.” WorldImportantAgeChallengesLeaderSuccessfulTeamVulnerablePerceiveFlawsNow And ThenCop Author:Linda Rottenberg
