There are two types of entrepreneur right now in our crazy divided world \u2013 but if we dial it back a notch \u2013 aren\u2019t we just saying there are 2 types of people in the world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Right now in 2020 everything seems to be in a state of flux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Politics is partisan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Long-standing and deep-rooted injustices and assumptions are being over-turned with firm movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 and let\u2019s not forget COVID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never in my lifetime have I seen such split thinking and lack of nuance. There seem to be no shades of grey. People aren\u2019t having a side of that, with a slice of this and just a nibble of that over there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have been fascinated \u2013 and more than a little disturbed (!) to see the way COVID has played out with people\u2019s thoughts, attitudes towards risk-assessment and not forgetting that hideously slippery slope of \u201cdobbing in the neighbours\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Come March those of us lucky enough not to be on the frontline (the supermarket workers, the power station personnel, the delivery drivers, the couriers and all the others largely forgotten) hunkered down at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the weeks turned into months we were able to see how this was playing out on a global scale and what our own personal attitude was towards risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now I see two types of person:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Type 1 is doing what they\u2019ve been told and what they think they should be doing to be \u201cgood\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Type 2 is thinking. Whether you think rightly or wrongly \u2013 don\u2019t EVER stop thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t wait to be told what to do. Always be asking the difficult questions and always be thinking critically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We see the people in the Type 1 group gamely following the herd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If Guru X says to hit up people\u2019s DMs, stick them on your Facebook friends list and spam the shit out of them\u2026 then some will do it. Nay, lots of people will do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If Guru Y says to create a Facebook group and ask \u201ctell me your biggest struggle in business right now<\/em>\u201c, they\u2019ll follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If Guru Z says \u201cdown tools, we\u2019re all going on holiday\u201d, they\u2019ll do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think it\u2019s almost as if they\u2019re waiting for permission. They need someone to say \u201cyes, do it!\u201d and that\u2019s a mindset issue particularly prevalent with women seeking approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be Type 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get things wrong. Fuck up. Learn from your mistakes. But don\u2019t ever stop trying to make things better and to WALK YOUR OWN DAMNED PATH! <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you make your own decisions it can be scary. It can be easier to do what the majority are doing \u2013 because if 99 people are doing something one way, then it\u2019s got to be right, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I never much liked being told what to do and I certainly don\u2019t like being told to do what everyone else is doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be bold and create your own path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The funny thing is\u2026 nobody\u2019s really paying attention anyway \u2013 they\u2019re all too busy conforming to worry about you doing \u201cwrong\u201d stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are two types of entrepreneur right now in our crazy divided world \u2013 but if we dial it back a notch \u2013 aren\u2019t we just saying there are 2 types of people in the world?
