Many entrepreneurs do not realize that many of the problems their businesses face today began yesterday, long before there was a business.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've felt a little culpable that we entrepreneurs often invent businesses just to drive people to buy more things.
Over a 10-year period, 99 out of 100 new entrepreneurs will fail. Only one will be left standing as others get pushed out of the market or burn out from working so hard. It's really sad.
Entrepreneurs cannot be happy people until they have seen their visions become the new reality across all of society.
Entrepreneurs always begin the journey believing that they have the next big idea. They dream of the fame and fortune that awaits them if only they had the funding to pursue it. But the reality is that as the product is built and shared with customers, flaws in their concept are discovered that - if not overcome - will kill the business.
Most entrepreneurs are merely technicians with an entrepreneurial seizure. Most entrepreneurs fail because you are working IN your business rather than ON your business.
I actually think every individual is now an entrepreneur, whether they recognize it or not.
What does an entrepreneur do? The first thing is they've given themselves permission to see a problem. Most people don't want to see problems... Once you see a problem and you keep looking at it, you'll find an answer.
I do think a lot of people are trying to do important things still, and I think it is really a great thing that entrepreneurship is getting easier. When I started, it was just much harder to begin a company.
Entrepreneurs are misfits to the core. They forge ahead, making their own path and always, always, question the status quo.
A lot of people who own a business aren't entrepreneurial at all.
