Quotes It’s when you are at school that you are very open to shaping entrepreneurial thinking and [developing] an appetite for risk. The curriculum needs to be supplemented with an award programme that encourages and recognises this entrepreneurial spirit and gives a wider range of topics for women to be recognised for. . Nurture your curiosity and explore any ideas you have. Some of the best ideas come from when you question the world around you. Not accepting how things work and having an open curiosity is what sets some of the best entrepreneurs apart from others. My goal is to see as many young women around the world being encouraged to start a business and be an entrepreneur when they are still at school. Become an expert in your domain. Why are you the best person to build this business? Having a genuine passion and curiosity in the area you are building in will help you be the expert and stand out amongst the competition.
