WATER FOR THE REST OF YOUR
LIFE, OR DO YOU WANT TO COME
WITH ME AND CHANGE THE
WORLD?”
WHAT STEVE JOBS SAID TO PEPSI EXECUTIVE JOHN SCULLEY TO LURE HIM TO APPLE.

4. Before we get started, let’s get one thing
straight – YOU ARE BORN WITH IT.
Passion, thirst, risk-taking, innovation,
intelligence, and so many other variables
that make up a successful entrepreneur,
cannot be taught.
They are either in your genes or not..

10. Change Catalyst
• Yo-Yo model vs. “40 year Womb to Tomb”
•
• Know your options. (What work feeds your soul).
•
• Establish “Brand You, Inc.”
•
• Find work you really enjoy. (You’ll be bored otherwise)
• Beware of perfectionism! Don’t fear failure, fear not trying.
• Think outside the box! “Recognize that the Innovation Age is quickly
building on and replacing the Information Age.” Daniel Pink
• Connect with a community of others you value and relate to. If you don’t
have that group now, find it or cultivate it – beginning now!
