“really focus on doing something that you are passionate about. And make sure that it’s tied to something that also has a lot of purpose. So, don’t go out and just do something because it seems like something you will make a bunch of money on.

“you cannot control how smart you are… But the one thing you can control is how hard you work. You have got to do the grind and hopefully your passionate about what you’re doing. And the reason I mention passion is that it’s likely that you are going to be eating dirt along the journey and sometimes you are eating a lot of it. So, unless you are actually passionate about what you are doing it’s going to be tough going to stick it out. So grind and passion are certainly the two qualities that I look for”…[Listen for More]

“’have a go’ it sounds simplistic but don’t let your gut hold you back, go and have a go. And it’s amazing what you can do when you say ‘wouldn’t it be cool if we tried this’. Let’s see what happens… The companion piece to that is actually a quote from Winston Churchill where he said ‘keep buggering on’. And what that basically means is even when it’s tough, even when you’re struggling keep going… Even when you are tired, even when you’re exhausted keep going on and just have a go”…[Listen for More]

If an idea is not working you have got to let it go or you have got to let it change into something that is more workable.

As a young girl growing up in Norway, Annicken R Day fell in love with old Hollywood movies, especially the musical South Pacific from 1958. When she visited the Hawaiian island of Kaua’i thirty years later, she learned by coincidence that South Pacific had been filmed there and that the mystical island of Bali Ha’i indeed existed. That was when the idea for the story about Maya Williams first came to her, a story inspired by Annicken’s own life and experiences, and by people—and butterflies—she has met on her journey. After fifteen years as a leader and executive in the IT industry, Annicken jumped off the corporate treadmill in 2012 to start her own company, Corporate Spring, with a mission to make the corporate world a happier place. Since then she and her team have helped and trained thousands of leaders around the world on how to build thriving corporate cultures, high performing teams, and successful businesses. Annicken is the founder and CEO of Corporate Spring, co-author of the book Creative Superpowers, a public speaker, executive advisor, and a passionate maverick for new ways of thinking, working, and leading in the new world of work. Annicken spends the majority of her time between Oslo, London, and Los Angeles, where also her singer-songwriter daughter Matilde Redbridge lives.

“do you believe in yourself? …the opportunities are coming and going all the time, you recognise them, some aren’t so good, some are really good. Question is, do you believe in yourself to do something about it? Are you willing to take that leap? You have got to believe in yourself.

“love what you want to do. If you want to do something and you really have a passion for it and you believe you can add value that’s more important than anything… if you love what you do you never go to work… So, it’s really important to understand what it is that you want to bring to the world… That may be the simplest product, that may be a Sass business or that may be that little yoga studio.

“Pan for silver work for gold. And here is what I mean by that. A good idea might present itself but it is not going to present itself as a gold idea there just has to be something there that is intriguing. Either that could be a business model, that could be a person that you maybe want to bring onto your team, that might be a new idea for a new product, that might be an idea for a piece of content that you want to share. I think that too many people think that the great ideas, the great people, the great talent just presents itself, and that’s wrong. My experience in stand-up comedy knows this, that you go on stage with a bullet point and you go I think there is something here and you start it and it’s called the bit. And there is something to a bit. And a bit start with an insight, with an idea and then you just what we call in comedy you work the bit. You work it, you do it over and over again, you talk about it, you do it in a small room, you do it in a big room, you just perfect the bit over time. You pan for silver but you work for gold. And nothing is going to present itself to you, you need to do the work”…[Listen for More]

And if it is something you want to do answer the question for yourself if you can do it by doing it… Keep going, it’s not always easy, it’s difficult… In a traditional life everybody tells you to be a specialist, become really, really good at one thing. And if you are an entrepreneur you actually need to do the opposite you need to become at least competent… If you become C+ or B at a bunch of things that’s way, way more valuable. So, if you are a C+ or B person that can-do marketing and accounting, sales that’s way more important than if you are on A+ technical person and you can’t do any of the other things.
