LinkedIn Co-Founder - You Must Expect Chaos When Growing A Business Successfully

Reid Hoffman’s (LinkedIn co-founder) philosophy is based on the principle that entrepreneurialism is a force for good. He is convinced that in the long run, more Silicon Valley-style innovation will lead to greater prosperity and more jobs. Image credit: David Yellen

Reid Hoffman: “Entrepreneurship is throwing yourself off a cliff and assembling an airplane on the way down.”

But beneath all the operational aspects involved in scaling a company lies something more fundamental. Hoffman believes a successful entrepreneur must be flexible, ready to adapt and willing to accept that although the future is essentially unknowable, there is always something new to find out.

It’s about nurturing an adaptable mindset suitable for navigating a confusing, chaotic world. All in the hope of making that world better for everyone.  Read the full story…. entrepreneur.com
