Supporting the entrepreneurial spirit is our best chance for economic progress.

There's an idealization of being an entrepreneur, but the most important thing is to have a really great idea.

After working for 14 years on Wall Street and growing up in a family with strong roots in small business, I know how important the entrepreneurial spirit is to attaining the American dream.

I think that initial independence is very important; that's what being an entrepreneur is all about.

The American economy has been built and sustained by risk-taking entrepreneurs whose pioneering ideas and hard work gave birth to flourishing businesses.

Entrepreneurship is the very back bone of our country and what makes us great - we are a nation of founders.

In the States, entrepreneurs inspire a lot of people and are respected for creating jobs. That makes people dream and feel happy for their country.

Americans have so much natural entrepreneurial drive. The caveat is that it is technology that should be a tool making lives better in the real world, and in line with the American spirit of getting better and better at something, whether it's curing cancer or creating a better taxi service.

If we truly want to achieve lasting economic growth, we need our businesses to do more business - and we need them to do it in America.

America is a country of entrepreneurship and great business leaders.
