Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs are like weeds – and I mean that positively. Having just spent a good chunk of time over the weekend weeding our lawn, a few things struck me. First, like weeds, entrepreneurs are tough and tenacious; they never give up and often grow despite inhospitable conditions. Second, entrepreneurs are often scruffy and wild; they don’t conform to the tidy, manicured and mowed business 'lawnscape'. Third, entrepreneurs bring colour and new life; in the same way that weeds are good for biodiversity and attract insects and birds, entrepreneurs are good for socio-economic life. So let’s celebrate our wonderful, weedy entrepreneurs.
