Who Do Successful Entrepreneurs Look Up To?

By Sab on 3 March 2011 at 23:19 in Careershifters Blog

This article asks successful entrepreneurs and small business owners who their role models are. It's a great source of inspiration and may get you thinking about who your role models might be, whether you are changing career to entrepreneurship or not.

I really wanted to share you this quote from the article by Tate Chalk, the Founder and CEO of Nfinity:

"I'll tell you who I really respect are the thousands of people everyday who 'lay it on the line' by giving up a 'good' career for something better. For those people, who despite their friends and family telling them they are crazy, get out there and make something happen. I am always in awe when I hear those stories. Every success had to start at some point with courage. I just love those stories."

We love those stories too!

Shift your thinking

By Richard on 16 July 2007 at 22:41 in Careershifters Blog

We're great believers at Careershifters that a successful career change is as much about a shift in your thinking - about who you are and about what you believe is possible - as it is a shift in what you physically do on a day-to-day basis.

We're happy then to recommend Akasha, run by our friends at Triumphant Events. Taking place on 5 August in London, this day-long event will bring together five world-class speakers - Bob Proctor, Dr John Demartini, Chris Howard, Roger Hamilton and Getrude Matshe - who will share their unique insights on how to massively shift your thinking about what is possible to create and contribute with your life.

Tickets are just £39 and you can book them here.

Follow your heart, it's wiser than you think. And for God's sake, don't be scared... now I can't think of anything scarier than having to do a 9-7 in a bank, law firm or somewhere I was unhappy. More

Nikki

"For 17 years I worked in the travel industry. In the period of unemployment and after attending the Careershifters workshop I retrained and am now employed as a trainer and coach. I'd recommend the workshop to anyone who may not know what they want to do."
