It doesn't have to involve money, it could be starting up a little project or something you're interested in, just do it, don't wait for permission, just give it a go." What you learn could benefit you in your career, even if you don't go on to be a successful founder. "Even if you work for someone else, its good to have entrepreneurial qualities, to always be curious and to look for the next opportunity or ways to win business. "Having an open mind is a big part of it, to not just be set in your ways. Every entrepreneur I've met, they're just curious about life. They're interesting people, but they're interested in the world around them and the people in it, always looking for the next big thing." 1 Comment Many thanks to Jonny for doing this interview, the most in-depth I've ever done (listen to the audio on Soundcloud)!
