Right from the start of the meeting Fadi Bishara @Fbishara, a Silicon Valley veteran, hit the nail right on the head with this one liner. The secret to the Valley’s success is that people have ‘permission’ to fail.
This was at a networking event in Brussels organised by the Cluster “Software In Brussels” to bring entrepreneurs together and get a few ‘experts’ to share words of wisdom. Alongside Fabien Petitcolas, Director of Innovation at Microsoft Europe @MSEurope and Patrick Crasson @PatrickCrasson from Benovate, I shared the concept of hyperthinking as well as my personal experience as an entrepreneur.
My main point was that being a successful entrepreneur in the 21st century requires a new mindset. Interestingly some of these values, defined in the hyperthinking concept, come naturally to entrepreneurs because they are drawn to innovate and think creatively to start something new.
