Entrepreneurship is a state of being that does not end with the sale or transfer or end of a business; it’s the end of one experiment.  As we experience our current situation, one senses a growing appreciation of and call for entrepreneurship and innovation as the way out of this mess.

Entrepreneurs thrive in chaos

The essence of people pulled to entrepreneurship and innovation is a drive to solve problems and create opportunities. To be the first person to do something important – now, or anytime – give up on two things that can hold you back: a need to be perfect and fear of failure. Focus instead on what it takes to solve a problem, then take action in that direction.

Return to the Why

To thrive in this chaos, return to “The Why” of your business.  Remind yourself why you started. Your original purpose can help you discover what’s now required in your business. Understand the new ways your customers are experiencing problems. Talk to your customers, collaborate with your stakeholders. Who can you serve now? What do they need from you? How do you serve? Think about how you wish to be remembered on the other side.
