Entrepreneurship is usually more than just a profession – it’s a lifestyle and a continuous learning process, especially in today’s rapidly changing world. To succeed as an entrepreneur, you have to be open to new ideas and ready to adapt to changes, which requires continuous updating and development of your skills.
“When I started, I was a pioneer. Now I have to update my skills again to stay at the forefront”, says Susanna Nousiainen in her entrepreneur story. At the beginning of her career in the early 2010s, Nousiainen was one of the first digital nomads before the term became fashionable.
“Previously, clients were divided among a smaller group of experts”, Susanna says. “Nowadays, clients are scattered among an increasingly wider range of entrepreneurs.”
Susanna’s story is an excellent example of how important it is for an entrepreneur to continuously renew their expertise and apply it to new contexts. Explore Susanna’s entire entrepreneur story here.
