13. “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt
the world to himself. Therefore all progress
depends on the unreasonable man”
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
17. Summary
1. Start ups are where growth, jobs and prosperity
come from
2. Entrepreneurship values include diversity,
curiosity, sustainability and meritocracy
Is this compatible with family business?

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter.
Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
