David Cameron to launch StartUp Britain business scheme - Worldnews.com
This article came across my desk yesterday!
David Cameron, Prime Minister UK, urging would-be entrepreneurs to "make it happen" and help drive the economic recovery in Britain.
This is in fact a reality near and dear to my heart. I believe the workplace requires a new way of thinking. We need "change-ready" companies and employees to lead the way: to dig in, rebuild, and feed the recovery process.
Does an incentive like this work? It's yet to be seen.
However, I love the idea of championing the private sector to self-empower and step-up taking an affirmative role in the economic recovery process. This is far more conducive to effecting positive change and growth than simply throwing more dollars at the problem. Think about it -- the money has to come from somewhere and ultimately would mean slamming an already limping economy with higher interest rates and taxes.
I wonder what percentage of the workforce is best suited to be an entrepreneur? It's not for everyone!
I do however believe that everyone can actively participate by honing and developing what I call "entrepreneurial flair" - an attitude that begins with accepting that you can and will make a difference.
Whether you use your "entrepreneurial flair" to create a new start-up business or to advance your career is up to you. The big picture is we need to make a difference, all of us, and the time is now!
