Entrepreneurs thrive and succeed

Entrepreneurs thrive and succeed.

In today’s competitive job market it’s survival of the fittest.

When did you last learn something new, or take a risk at work? Doing your job well today may not be enough to secure your long-term employability, however hard you may work. According to Paul Brown, writing for forbes magazine, everyone will have to become an ‘’entrepreneur’’ of sorts. Even if you don’t ever start  a business, even if you don’t know what P&L and ROI stand for , if you want to work well into the future, you need to start seeing yourself differently.

For most of us, the future will involve a number of jobs and even career changes as a matter of survival. And just like Darwin’s theory of evolution, it’s survival of the fittest. In a world where contract work and part-time work have become prevalent, those with an entrepreneurial attitude will thrive. Anyone following the outdated set of rules that say,’’   Qualifications will get you a good job,’’ will struggle. What does ‘’being entrepreneurial mean?
