Marshal Goldsmith, who writes the “Ask the Coach” blog for the Harvard Business Review, has some words of advice for those just starting out on their careers: “In this new era of uncertainty, we all need to think like entrepreneurs.”

He starts his thoughtful post on the pressures of globalisation with the following reality-check:

• It is tough out there, and it’s only going to get tougher.
• Forget about security.
• Like it or not, even if you start out with a large corporation, you need to think like an entrepreneur.
• Make peace with this reality, and your life is going to be a lot better.
