David Jenyns argues entrepreneurship is the best training ground for moving from dependence to independence to interdependence, drawing on Stephen Covey's model. He recommends studying developmental psychology to understand how business ownership teaches the skills you need to become truly self-reliant.
So I think of entrepreneurship as being like an ultimate training ground, an ultimate practice place to learn the basic skills that we need to learn in order to then come back and be great at contribution. Stephen Covey has the model of first we start out dependent, and then we become independent, and then we become interdependent. And in developmental models, if you study developmental psychology, which I recommend you do in any of the developmental models, each level acts as a foundation for the next level.
So if we don't become powerfully independent, we can't become powerfully interdependent. And I think of entrepreneurship as being the best school now for becoming powerfully independent.
