“Every individual is an entrepreneur”, Reid Hoffman tells Charlie Rose
At TechCrunch I’ve just watch this inspirational video-interview with Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn and Tech investor, published originally at the Charlie Rose Show. If you have 30 minutes this weekend, then watch it and hear Hoffman saying,
“[...] I actually think every individual is now an entrepreneur, whether they recognize it or not. . . . Average job length is two to four years. That makes you a small business. . . . You are the entrepreneur of your own small business. How do you get to your next gig? How do you do your career progression? All these things now fall on the individual shoulders. And so, they’re essentially an entrepreneur. . . . [...]”
Whereas I think he is absolutly right and I see a lot of people in my professional environment acting that way already, I am not so sure if the “average” (horrible word, can’t think of anything better right now) European is prepared for this wave of entrepreurial metamorphosis, neither in terms of culture, nor in terms of attitude.
