** Simon Sinek: be there for each other =E2=99=A5=EF=B8=8F
------------------------------------------------------------
Simon Sinek is the global thought-leader and best-selling author who profo=
undly changed the mindsets of founders everywhere when he told us all to '=
start with the why' in his landmark TED Talk in 2009.
At our MeetUp on Wednesday night=2C we had the privilege of hearing from S=
imon on stage with our host Ben=2C along with a surprise appearance from R=
ichard Branson=2C as we explored why founders should feel optimistic=2C no=
t positive=2C about the future of business.
=E2=80=9CPositivity is blind. Optimism is the undying belief that the futu=
re is bright=2C but it=E2=80=99s not a denial of the current state."
In a profound and honest evening=2C Simon turned his thoughts on business=
in 2020=2C how we move forward as a community by never losing sight of ou=
r purpose.
Simon also offered a powerful reminder for founders struggling through the=
pandemic:
"One of the things we have to do is ask for help. One of the greatest mist=
akes entrepreneurs make early in their careers is if you're the lead of th=
e company=2C you don't have to know all the answers or pretend you do.
"I think that this idea of 'change the world' is overused in the startup s=
pace. Your ambition should be to profoundly and positively change the live=
s of the people who need what you have. The world is inhuman. Bring it dow=
n a few thousand feet. Remind yourself of your customers' stories; you're=
doing it for them."
Didn't make it to the event? We've shared some of the highlights in our la=
test post below:

** Research proves new startups are thriving mid-pandemic =F0=9F=99=8C
------------------------------------------------------------
According to new research carried out by the Virgin StartUp team=2C the co=
ronavirus lockdown gave many people the time and space they needed to crea=
te new businesses. We spoke to 1=2C000 adults who have started or develope=
d a new business during the COVID-19 crisis - and our insights suggest new=
startups are offering great potential and hope in the economic crisis:
* 69% of lockdown entrepreneurs agreed that lockdown gave them the push th=
ey needed to start a business
* 73% of lockdown entrepreneurs said that lockdown has provided them with=
the perfect opportunity to focus on what they really want from their care=
er
* 51% of lockdown entrepreneurs agreed that they'd never thought about bec=
oming an entrepreneur before lockdown
* Flexibility is key for lockdown entrepreneurs. 95% of them said that bei=
ng able to choose the hours they work is important and 92% said they wante=
d to spend more time with their family and loved ones
* 73% of lockdown entrepreneurs are looking to balance profit with purpose=
and agree that it is important for businesses to do more than just make m=
oney
In our latest news article=2C we cover further research on why now is prov=
ing to be a time of not just challenge=2C but hope and opportunity.
