“I am a student consultant”

Working in a Junior Enterprise should not be limited to the role of a consultant, even if the services link to the consultancy field. “Selling” oneself to companies as junior entrepreneurs show the real “nature” of our work.

21% of our Junior Entrepreneurs open their own business within 3 years auer gradua*on (EU average is 4-‐8%).

Junior Entrepreneurs may foster an entrepreneurial mindset in the following ways:

1.  Leave their egos aside. “This is my Junior Enterprise and I do whatever I want with it”. Gejng rid of this ajtude is the first step to make your JE beWer. You may be brilliant, but you need to realize that you do not know everything. You may need collabora2on and inputs from other people (alumni, etc).

2.  Be curious: you need to develop the kind of curiosity that goes beyond asking about facts and data gathering. Instead, you need to ask ques2ons that dig into possibili2es, outcomes and op2ons.

3.  Find real solu2ons that solve real problems and are not just “quick fixes” or “events”. Solu2ons which hit in the heart of an issue, by crea2ng business value, preven2ng a problem or invent a new result for the business needs.

4.  Measure the impact: What is the impact, financially or strategically, of any decision (especially cash going out) on your JE?

5.  Explore the ripple effect: You may want to know how the current problem or the opportunity under considera2on could affect your life, your JE or your network. Never lose sight of the big picture of the business as a whole. Your JE is part of JADE and there are lots of opportuni2es and challenges out there!

5.  Be innova2ve in their approach to change. They subscribe to the defini2on of insanity that says, "Insanity is con2nuing to do the same things you have always done, in the same ways you have always done them and expect different results.“

6.  They are willing to fail to eventually win. Not everything they consider to be good or right works out in the end. However the real entrepreneur learns from failure and moves ahead to the next right project.

Luca Sartoni, 123people I aWended the Jade Spring Mee2ng 2011 in Brussels and it was awesome. To be honest, I did not know about Junior Enterprises before it and was posi2vely impressed by all the young entrepreneurs I met. They are full of energy, enthusiasm and extremely prepared. They are exactly what the industry needs to start dreaming again about the future. This is why I'm going to aWend the Summer JADE Mee2ng 2011 in Vienna and I'll do my best to contribute to the event.”

Inspiring Junior Enterprise of the month! StuCon – JADE Austria!

“How did the idea of Franzi arise? Well, it was 4 o’clock in the morning, a long creative session came to its end. Suddenly, shortly before falling asleep, the idea of this sort of game hit us. The next day, on the way to the JADE Romania National meeting, we found this amazing little puppet in a little airport shop. And I guess that sums what Entrepreneurship is all about. Giving up on sleep, hard working and – most importantly – seeing opportunities and taking the chance.”

“Franzi became popular and loved from the first moment he appeared into JADE’s facebook page. For sure one of the best promo?on ac?ons of a JADE event we have seen this year. ” Tzoanna Tsakona, Head of Communica2on, JADE ExBo 2011
