Quote

The entrepreneurial life is one of challenge, work, dedication, perseverance, exhilaration, agony, accomplishment, failure, sacrifice, control, powerlessness... but ultimately, extraordinary satisfaction.

The original entrepreneur may initiate the initial purpose, but, in a sense, like a parent that has children, the children have their own destiny, and at some point, that can veer off away from the wishes the parent might have for it.

True entrepreneurs have to really forego almost everything; they have to put it all on the line.

Nobody talks of entrepreneurship as survival, but that's exactly what it is and what nurtures creative thinking.

Entrepreneurship is the last refuge of the trouble making individual.

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.

Great entrepreneurs focus intensely on an opportunity where others see nothing. This focus and intensity helps to eliminate wasted effort and distractions. Most companies die from indigestion rather than starvation, i.e., companies suffer from doing too many things at the same time rather than doing too few things very well.

Being an entrepreneur means the ability to think out of the box by putting away our fear of any risk, including financial.

Entrepreneurship is not for everyone.

Entrepreneurs are misfits to the core. They forge ahead, making their own path and always, always, question the status quo.
