In 2010 acclaimed film director Christopher Nolan shared with us one of the most trippy and fantastic movies to hit the big screen in a long time: Inception. The movie is about a thief, Dom Cobb ( played by Leonardo DiCaprio) with the rare ability to enter people's dreams (yes, weird) and steal their secrets from their subconscious. His skill leads him down the manipulative and shaky path of planting ideas in people's minds and as the movie progresses, the viewer cannot tell

Whether you are in business, an entrepreneur, investor, self-employed, employed or a smattering of each, one thing we all have in common is the consensus that 2020 to date has been quite the year. I honestly cannot remember the last time there was such a globally shared sense of dread, uncertainty, fear, hope, connectiveness and then back again to dread, in such synchronicity.

This article is the final installment in the 30 Habits of Wantrepreneurs series. Today I shall cover the last 15 habits that the wannabepreneur holds onto for his or her dear life.

Previously I talked about the wantrepreneur, wannabepreneur or what I slyly refer to as the corporate entrepreneur: that person in business that looks the part of the entrepreneur and seems to have all the trappings that the conventional entrepreneur is deemed to have but beneath the surface is struggling with the reality of the entrepreneurial calling, no fault of their own.

I get pleasantly surprised when I scour the internet and observe people responding to cabin fever and isolation by engaging in meaningful self-developing activity, then posting it online : singing, dancing, cooking, baking, cleaning, farming, working out, writing, acting, drawing, miming and on and on. What social media has truly demonstrated to us in the face of a global crisis, beyond a shady of doubt - is that we are a multi-talented and gifted species, capable of doing al

It's at the core of every entrepreneur's mission: making that unique product that will impact many people and change their lives for the better forever. A product that will most likely grant the said entrepreneur a coveted spot amongst history's great inventors and innovators. So, why is it that those great innovations are a dime a dozen?
