Rethinking entrepreneur
Say the word ‘entrepreneur’ and my mind conjured up one of two
images. The first was a tech-savvy millennial, with a portfolio
career hot-desking from a coworking space in
Indycube and making money from doing things on social
media that frankly I don’t fully understand.
The second was older, free-spirits like Arianna Huffington,
Richard Branson or James Dyson who’d developed a money-spinning
idea back in the day, had massively scaled it up, and were now
living off the income and pursuing philanthropic work. Despite
having an Instagram account and a regular donation to Oxfam, I
fitted neither definition. But my view started to change after I
read about Walter Dickie.
