There is a DISTINCT disadvantage to being a younger professional – you have not yet built your teams. You do not have the TRUSTED resource providers surrounding you that you need in order to confidently execute with 100% certainty that you can do ANYTHING if need be.
May be it is time to TEAM UP. I am not making a political call for business socialism, rather, for co-operation between your professionals, especially entrepreneurs. I am calling for a collective STRATEGIC ALLIANCE to share resources, technologies and share in the costs of operations.
There are many "group resource" solutions throughout the business community, such as HR or IT management. These businesses help companies share in operational services; however, I am speaking to the sharing of office space, connectivity, equipment, as well as services.
What if, as a young business owner, you could have office space, technology, tools and support for a minimal fee or no fee at all (for a limited time)? Do you think we would see more INSPIRED entrepreneurs if the risks were not so high?
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
I am a FIRM believer that the young inspired minds of our future business leaders can (and will) correct our economy! I believe they will solve many of the world's woes from energy depletion to advanced water systems to aid in irrigation.
I am also a firm believer that UNLESS they are allowed the space and opportunity to FAIL, we will never see the greatness of the most educated generation ever. They, like our generation, will FALL into the middle managers syndrome, seeking SECURITY over AMBITION. They will settle for a "good job" with a "nice home" as opposed to "changing the world" as they DREAMED of in college.
Maybe it is time that we, the leaders of our communities, found a way to allow for inspired minds an OPPORTUNITY to be great. Should they have a "give" for this opportunity (like a percentage of ownership given to the community provider)? Sure. Does that mean they will be TURNED OFF? Hell no!!
Maybe it is time to think what you might have done… had you had the opportunity to TEAM UP too! On the other hand, maybe it is time to TEAM UP and get moving…
Cheers,
Zach
