"Spoiled and right." Too idealistic. "That it will change the world."
These are just some of the things that have been said about...
Do I thought I was going to say and generation, no? Although actually I've heard all this and more spoken Gen Yers (also known as the Millennials) only last week, really am talkin' ' bout MY generation (Punta hat to the who)
But I'm not here to discuss the generational similarities. Instead, I would like to warn you about generation y. far of being lazy, that generation and it is inherently more entrepreneurial generation that we have never seen. And, from a competitive point of view comes after the rest of us. Are you prepared to defend its turf?
Much of this new generational war is taking place in the field of technology. Reaching is digital natives; It is the power of technology in their bones, and they are not afraid to take advantage in their business plans. The rest of us? Well, not so much.
Incredibly, nearly half of U.S. small businesses has not yet even a Web site. If you are in the half wrong of this gap, you don't have a chance in this fight. There are no more excuses. As editorial director AllBusiness.com Fredric Paul noted recently, Intuit has just introduced a tool that allows you to instantly create a Web site.
And an instant is almost all the time you have to get with the program. Scott Gerber, founder of the Council for Young Entrepreneur, believes that "the technology enables companies compete immediately". As a leading voice of generation and entrepreneurs, Gerber, has "have a mentality of microwave." "We can build a website in 24 hours or less and create a business in 72 hours."
How long will it take?
Gerber argues there is the "tension" because "the generations greater discounts and gene." "Do not you know how to build a real business". But it is not asking for a war.
Instead, think that you there is much of generation and and older entrepreneurs can teach others. "If we open a real dialogue two way", he said, "you can increase capacity of all to compete." "We can show [boomers] how to go faster and grow faster, and we must learn patience, persistence and approach."
Gerber believes her generation is driven by being "more business", by a combination of despair (nobody is unemployed) and "cool factor". Reaching start new enterprises is cool because they believe that they were born to change the world - and you can not do it from a cubicle in a giant Corporation. Change the world means creating business Revolution… version 2.0.
The first business revolution born in America in the 1990s, led by the "baby boomers" push in entrepreneurship by a recession which led to massive corporate layoffs. This time, the revolution is global. Makes a few weeks Gerber and several other businessmen from generation and traveled to Egypt, courtesy of the Department of State of United States, to help promote the entrepreneurial spirit. It was with the expectations of having to teach young Egyptian people about starting and growing new business. Once in the country, met with many of the people he met had already discovered on their own.
Experience teaches Gerber "entrepreneurial spirit exists in all parts of the world, even where it is not apparently present". And they really have the potential to change the world.
Aims to create a giant business ecosystem, which in the opinion of Gerber (and who can argue?) are in the best interest of all Nations. "Global entrepreneurship is a powerful tool," said, "and the solution to many problems that we face as a society".
And Gerber is far from alone. Take my 21-year-old nephew Ricky Kreitner. It is not a businessman, but shared outlook of Gerber: "much horror even, creativity, horrors, noncommercial creativity, expressed through market classic vocabulary." What people want? What niche can fill? Many basic human drives that used to operate outside the system are now expressed in the system. "We are all entrepreneurs now."
No doubt, Kreitner admits that his generation is entitled. But it is not necessarily a bad thing, said. "A sense of law is what causes the revolutions: just look at the Tahrir square".
Only from Egypt, Gerber is agreed. As a young Egyptian woman told him, "entrepreneurship represents the choice that we never had." Before, our fate was predetermined. "Now, if we can overthrow Mubarak, imagine what more we can do".
"Talents from around the world will unite under one banner of entrepreneurship," predicted Gerber. "And you're not going to war with which to do business with people."
