Stop dreaming and start living it

I get to meet a lot of people in my daily work. Most of them are entrepreneurs, already running their business, and then there are ‘the others’, who are inspired by this great entrepreneurial buzz that is to be found everywhere on the globe.

‘Starting a business’ is a phrase I’m noticing on more and more people’s to-do list, and it’s definitely something to be celebrated. It shows we are all dreamers and that each and every single one us is dreaming about a better future.

Though, some just never wake up from the dreaming part. For many, starting that dream business has become a task for ‘later’, so let’s dig into a couple of reasons why you should start now.

The entrepreneurial wave
The fact that more people are starting a business means that the number of like-minded dreamers is increasing – all of them living out their dream and trying to build a great business, while having fun and learning an insane amount.

Governments have realised this, which is why they are increasing the incentive schemes and improving their transparency. In addition, they are also focusing on lowering the barriers that small businesses are facing.

The currency has changed
In the earlier days, companies had to have revenue before being eligible to meet investors, and even then it was hard to make contact, as the circle of investors was a members-only club.

Times have changed, which ultimately means that it’s easier to get capital from investors. More successful entrepreneurs are starting to invest, helping you with not only money but also valuable insight and knowledge.

Skills up for grabs
You are no better than the people on your team. That’s why it’s good news that talent from the corporate world – having knowledge and experience – is turning towards small businesses, being that they are the true innovators.

If you know that there are plenty of dreamers out there like you, that getting capital to live out your dream has never been easier and that the talent mass is looking towards the dreamers, what are you waiting for?

Time to wake up and start living it.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
