Dear Friends, Colleagues and Clients:
Greetings! Being an entrepreneur is a unique way of defining your own place in the world. An entrepreneur has the drive, talent and creativity to make something out of nothing. In this issue of The Connector, we hear from people behind startups in technology, fashion, the arts, law, music, and business.
True entrepreneurs are always working — maybe not actually working, but always thinking — about their latest ventures. And when the going gets tough, true entrepreneurs have the unwavering determination to drive home.
Having a job can be wonderful, but only when you bring an entrepreneurial mindset to your workplace. Years ago, I worked for the Attorney General of Washington state. My co-workers were among the nicest people I have ever known. But it was inconceivable for me to do anything that was outside the scope of my job description.
When I left to take a job with a technology startup, one of my co-workers trembled, “What will you do if the company fails?” That startup did fail, but it gave me the formidable experience to be where I am today. And I would not want to be doing anything else in the world other than taking PR for People® as far as it can go.
