I spent the day at a combination of Social Media and technology sessions and entrepreneurism. 

Key takeaways that resonated for me: 

- If you have an idea, write it down. Talk to others about it and get feedback. It can help you identify holes and opportunities. 

-Personal passion is important. If you at first fail (and you probably will, based on statistics), you will be more likely to find another way to accomplish your dream if you are passionate. 

-Cultivate your contacts. When it comes to seeking investors, “warm introductions” are extremely valuable. It will open doors to opportunities. 

-Read, study and seek out mentors who have been there and can offer tips and insights. 

—Attitude is important. When faced with a job change (or loss), or some setback, it’s an opportunity.
