Entrepreneurs 'scared of failure'
Well not exactly
A BBC headline with the same words as the title of this post caught my attention today. Entrepreneurs? Afraid of failure? The subtitle to the article was more telling: "Almost four in ten would-be entrepreneurs are too scared of failure to do anything about their business ideas, a report suggests." That sounds more realistic. The more interesting finding in the report is that nearly half of the 2500 respondents contemplated setting up a venture. It appears that Free Agent thinking has swept through the UK. I wonder when it will arrive in Germany?
