Tina Seelig


Tina Seelig did a lecture for a class at Stanford on being an entrepreneur and looking for opportunities in problems. Here are two points she made that I found Important.



"Don't burn Bridges" - Tina believes that there are really only 50 substantial people in the world; the rest are just wallpaper. What she means is that, everywhere you go and anything you do, you will continually bump into people you know. These people will either help or hinder your experience and opportunity. What every person should do is make a great impression on every person you meet. Don't burn any bridges, because even enemies now could be value able for you in the future.

"You do the job, you get the job." - Tinas gave great advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. She advises that entrepreneurs don't wait for their position, but take it instead. In any work place, one should take lead and start doing the position that they want. start acting as a supervisor and a mentor even if you ain't one. As soon as someone see's your doing the job already, they will likely promote you.
