True entrepreneurs have to really forego almost everything; they have to put it all on the line.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Entrepreneurs are like visionaries. One of the ways they run forward is by viewing the thing they're doing as something that's going to be the whole world.
Entrepreneurs are misfits to the core. They forge ahead, making their own path and always, always, question the status quo.
All human beings are born entrepreneurs. Some get a chance to unleash that capacity. Some never got the chance, never knew that he or she has that capacity.
The most successful entrepreneurs in the world have a combination of the right type of personality and fortunate life circumstance. A lot of them have been doing it most of their life.
Really great entrepreneurs have this very special mix of unstoppable optimism and scathing paranoia.
Entrepreneurs almost always have to step out of existing institutions that embody old ways of doing things to build their vision.
I've felt a little culpable that we entrepreneurs often invent businesses just to drive people to buy more things.
In the end, I think that people that are not willing to take the risk to fail are not true entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurs go through real problems and come up with real solutions. It's not fake. You can do all the right things and still lose. You can do all the wrong things and still will.
One misconception is that entrepreneurs love risk. Actually, we all want things to go as we expect. What you need is a blind optimism and a tolerance for uncertainty.
