My very first ‘Letter from the Editor’
Issue #1 of Think Act Prosper
Back in July, Wilbert Wynnberg contacted me with an idea. His business conferences had been put on hold due to the pandemic, but he still wanted to connect and share with others, and positively impact as many lives as possible. His goal was to help unleash peoples potential and give a voice to great ideas, and to the entrepreneurs who grind away today to make a better future for us all tomorrow.
Think Act Prosper Magazine was born.
As Wynnberg embarked on a journey to write 3 books, truly testing his 90 day formula, I embarked on the journey of creating a magazine. Think Act Prosper Magazine has become a great resource for the current generation of entrepreneurs to learn and share, and an inspiration for the next generation of entrepreneurs coming of age now. And we both feel that the stories we cover and articles we write are truly needed.
When I was taking my undergraduate degree in Business, I wasn’t taught how to be an entrepreneur. I was taught to be an employee. We looked at supply chains, logistics, accounting and marketing, but always in the context of an already established business. Yet back then, some of the world’s biggest businesses had already been started.
Still today, degrees and MBA’s don’t teach enough entrepreneurial skills, but this is perhaps because being an entrepreneur can’t be taught — it comes from within. You have to dream up new products, services and processes, and push through a lot of obstacles to create them in real life. You need to believe in yourself and your idea before anyone else does, and you have to dedicate all your energy into making it work. If you can do that then you don’t need a degree in entrepreneurship, you need to hear stories, hacks, real life experiences and success stories of how other people got started and got ahead. Think Act Prosper Magazine aims to contribute to your entrepreneurial story, by helping you think, plan, act, and prosper.
Entrepreneurship is all around us, and it’s driving the world forwards in terms of progress, innovation and a better quality of life for us all. Being an entrepreneur is not easy, but there has never been an easier time in history to start your own business.
With many more issues to come, we cannot wait to inspire you and hope that one day the readers will also grace these pages with success stories of their own.
