"Entrepreneurs need to live in permanent beta," Entrepreneur's editor in chief, Jason Feifer, says, quoting LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman, whom we featured in a cover story for Entrepreneur magazine.

In this one-minute mentor video, Feifer shares how it was these words of Hoffman's that spoke to him and made him think about how everyone should be reminded of this on a daily basis. Entrepreneurs -- actually, anyone, for that matter -- should be constantly evolving and learning. That's why possessing the mindset that we don't need to be some finished products or stuck in some certain way is incredibly important to your progress in both business and life. "The way to be a success is to constantly reinvent and to constantly be OK with not being a final product," explains Feifer in the video.
