I've been launching businesses for over 35 years with varying degrees of success. I've mostly founded tech startups, although I'm not a coder. During my journey, I've realised that I'm more suited and enjoy the early entrepreneurial stage of a business rather than managing and growing it. I teach and mentor entrepreneurship at universities in the UK and US. Entrepreneurship is a career choice!

The job market is shifting rapidly. AI is removing the rungs from the traditional corporate ladder, but it is also building an elevator for those ready to own their future. The safe path is no longer a job—it's entrepreneurship.
The traditional "secure" job is narrowing daily. AI and automation are beginning to outperform humans in repetitive and even complex tasks. For mid-career professionals, relying solely on an employer for security is becoming the high-risk option.
Standing still is not a strategy.
