This week at UP Global, we shared a number of articles from the team in Huffington Post, contest entries for the We Own It Summit are coming in, and a number of our Organizers shared great posts with the community.

Dave Parker, the newest addition to the UP Global team, shares insights on the power of entrepreneurs who know they must take the leap and believe — because, as Parker says, “or we wouldn’t take the risk, even if it looks foolish in hindsight.” Parker parallels some lesser known details about Elon Musk’s rocky journey to entrepreneurial stability and progress to highlight the power of risk-taking and confidence.
UP Global Northwest Regional Manager Chet Kittleson discusses the often undiscussed insecurities that all great leaders face. Chet points out that we all deal with self doubt, and no leader, regardless of their successes or circumstances, is exempt from these feelings. Chet shares some enlightening and encouraging quotes from successful leaders who have walked the entrepreneur’s journey and gone through their own ups and downs, including T.A. McCann, Amy Balliett, and Rand Fishkin.
