Jan Cavelle - Supporting Entrepreneurs To Start And Scale
Entrepreneurs are the backbone of a healthy economy
I have never wavered from my belief that entrepreneurs are at the very heart of a healthy economy.
Other the last 150 or so years, we have seen the emergence of many great entrepreneurs. There has been John Ford, Andrew Carnegie and William Rockefeller, to Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Richard Branson. John Ilhan, and many more.
Between them, they have created jobs for millions of people, generated trillions for the economy. They started small and grew – just a bit bigger! And that is what businesses do. It is an ecosystem where businesses disappear and new spaces open up for them to be replaced.
Then there are the microbiz, the hugely valuable self-employed and tiny businesses that make up every local town, generating employment, enabling people to create their own lives.
Right now, it is tougher than ever for everyone economically. Many people already find themselves facing redundancy – others simply need more money coming in. And more still chase the entrepreneurial dream.
We need to do everything we can to encourage and support people to create jobs for themselves and for others. That is what being an entrepreneur is all about.
