I just arrived in my home town Oslo, Norway yesterday and spent some quality time with family.
For the past couple of weeks I have been watching the tv series Mr.Selfridge (Netflix of course!)
and find the series to portray how entrepreneurs live and work. I consistently feed my brain with
information I can use for something, rather than just switching on the TV on something random.
There are a lot of great tv series and films that are great inspiration for us entrepreneurs when we
need a pickup or just want to chill and learn something at the same time. I have made a collection
of the films I like here https://mroutsource.com/blog/films/

Andrew Carnegie by David Nasaw
Andrew Carnegie is probably my most favorite entrepreneur. He is know to have a great humor, playful attitude to life and added massive value to the world through education and art. Modeling and learning from the GREATS is a way of shortening your learning curve and figuring out how life will be like when you “make it”. It´s worth mentioning that Andrew lived a freedom lifestyle from his early 30´s and became the richest man in the world during his life time. The one thing I admire about him the most is that he gave away everything before his death. It took him about 1/2 his life just giving back to society and he did that full time! Hope you enjoy it 🙂
