Yesterday I visited Sprout’s Challengerday. It was a day filled with lectures and workshops about entrepreneurship. One of the most obvious but interesting things that was said is that companies should always be innovators. Why obvious? In an ever changing world, companies that stand still will get run over. They won’t be able to compete and are less interesting to work for.
Although I’m not an entrepeneur (yet?), I think it is good to integrate entrepreneurship in your career. Entrepreneurs are a good inspiration source to discover how to keep this openminded view. And a day like yesterday opened up my mind.
Many entrepreneurs stressed hard work, but many also said that time to reflect was important too. Not to doubt, but to make sure you keep overview. It will be interesting to see if they post any of the lectures online. (only in Dutch btw)

reminded me of a quote I heard this morning in an Audio book: ‘In times of change the learners will inherit the earth, while the knowers will find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.’ - Eric Hoffer
