LEARNING FROM CHAMPIONS 2- 7 Minutes With Dr. Pippa Malmgren

Being famous for having seven minutes to advise President George W. Bush when in the wake of tower attacks, seventy-five percent of the global trading capability in US government bond was wiped out and the US stock market was down far the for the foreseeable future. Since then numerous heads of states have sought after Pippa's counsel.

Dr. Pippa Malmgren is one of the world's leading political economist and communicator. On her invitation back to speak at the London School Of Economics graduation, where she also had her Ph.D in International Relations in 1991. She was asked; if she had seven minutes to advise recent graduates seeking to get noticed in today's economic environment, what would she say? In her words. "Invoke the spirit of entrepreneurial-ism in whatever walk of life or professional field you pursue, be innovative. Even in a large multinational you have no choice but to be an entrepreneur. If you only do what the job demands, you will be replaceable; you must go beyond the parameters of your role to become irreplaceable. Also, do not be afraid of calculated risk taking; it is entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs who drive the global economy"

It is a well-known fact that talents rule the world in this 21st century and beyond. Entrepreneurs create a world that has never been. Entrepreneurship is making a living through our talents. To me, it is possessing the creativity, skills and productivity needed to explore and create wealth by our God-given gifts while solving problems for the benefit of humanity. The euphoria that comes with this will make scale the brick walls in the process of practicing entrepreneurship. Someone once said, Entrepreneurship is living a part of our lives like others wouldn't (taking risk, sacrificing, acquiring knowledge, getting relevant information, etc) and living the rest of our lives like others wouldn't ( living in the abundance of more than enough and with the satisfaction that comes with solving problems).

Maximize and broaden the boarders of your talents and let them pave way for you.  With Pippa's advise and the evident results of many other world leading generals who have amass wealth for themselves following this route, wouldn't it be profitable for you to follow the leaders?

Happy New Month!

Because of a learning disability, he found it difficult to understand and assemble words. Consequently he was labeled stupid by teachers who were either too busy or didn't care enough to find out why he struggled.
