Reflecting on an insightful seminar hosted by the University of Botswana Innovation Centre, featuring Chris Burry . One key takeaway resonated with me deeply – the importance of identifying shifts in the market landscape to seize entrepreneurial opportunities. Chris emphasized that recognizing these shifts is pivotal for entrepreneurs and innovators, as it sets the stage for finding solutions and building competitive startups. It's crucial to ask ourselves: What shifts have occurred that make it the right time to pursue our business or startup? Moreover, acting swiftly upon the emergence of these shifts is imperative. 'Find shifts and take advantage of them – most opportunities capitalize on shift (/multiple stack shifts).' On a lighter note, the seminar highlighted a common challenge faced by startups – the tendency to either answer the wrong questions or address questions that weren't asked but wished were. It's a reminder to sharpen our focus and hone our communication skills. Overall, it was an enriching experience that reaffirmed the significance of adaptability, foresight, and agility in the entrepreneurial journey. #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #StartupJourney
