Lessons for entrepreneurs
Some words of wisdom relevant to entrepreneurs that appealed to me at the YAL summit last weekend...
Tarik Yousef, Dean of DSG:
-understand your environment
-move away from quick fixes and focus on a long term sustainable goal
-loyalty to your work
-do it yourself attitude because waiting on it won’t make it happen
-focus on expanding your skills rather than degrees, your careers rather than jobs
Rama Chakaki, CEO of Baraka Ventures:
-no does not mean no, it means find another alternative (in reference to words of a school teacher)
-learn from Coopetition which instills a sense of cooperation to competition
Fadi Ghandour, CEO of Aramex:
-an entrepreneur is in a business of finding solutions
-entrepreneurship is a skill and you are not born an entrepreneur
-believe in the power in each individual and feel an ownership in the future
-lets think small not big in reference to the small entrepreneurship initiatives out there
-we are a culture that doesn't refuse failure so if you fail try again
