As I think about LinkedIn’s #BigIdeas2024 initiative, I am acutely aware of the fact that 2023 has given our industry one of the most powerful inflection points in the evolution of Artificial Intelligence.
AI has now entered popular consciousness.
As such, the desire to take advantage of this discontinuity is akin to yet another tech gold rush. Techies are chomping at the bits to start companies all over the world.
If you are such a techie looking to step into entrepreneurship, I suggest you make a new year resolution to spend an hour a day in 2024 with a successful entrepreneur.
You are thinking, how the hell do I do that?

Are you looking to dive headfirst into the world of entrepreneurship in the upcoming year? Now is the perfect time to gear up for success. And what better way to start than by learning from a leader in entrepreneurship education and startup strategies?
