PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Discovering Entrepreneurship
Are you doing what you love? Do you love what you do? Are you exploring your interests? Have you found your passion? Are you leaving your job? Starting a company? What if you fail? Do you know anyone who's done what you're doing? Has anyone succeeded before? Do you have the money? How much money do you need? Who can give you money? Do you have the knowledge? Are you an expert? Who's helping you? Who can help you? Why are you doing this? Why take the risk?
"The enemy is fear. We think it is hate, but it is fear." - Gandhi
Uncertainty affords options. Options are always an asset. Minimalist decision making.
Assimilate invisible assets. Identify invisible problems.
See problems not as products missing from a marketplace -- but as rifts between communities, gaps in mutual understanding.
Seeing both sides = Proprietary knowledge = Dynamic, continual competitive advantage
Seek uncertain and uncomfortable opportunities related to what you love to do and to the people who excite you most.
Experience, enjoy your new worldview.
Bridge the perspectives for other people, resolving the uncertainty and discomfort between.
Do this continually, consciously, courageously at every moment. Again and again.
Watch yourself grow immensely through this experiential learning, outpacing and becoming a leader to those around you.
A product, service, platform, network, etc. will manifest naturally.
People will love what you have created, and continue to love it. Your company and product will be continually novel, exciting, and valuable if you continue to seek novel, exciting, and valuable experiences.
You are now an entrepreneur...
Someone who continues to learn outside of any classroom, expands their own horizons beyond what is familiar and certain, and lives to share that knowledge with the world.
