Definition: entrepreneur
Here’s the best definition of an entrepreneur I’ve ever heard:
“Entrepreneurs are people who are too naive to see the obstacles that are obvious to others”.
I have found myself quoting this phrase a couple times over the past week or so, and while I can’t remember who said it, or if that’s the quote exactly, that pretty much sums it up for me.

I like it! Yet the concept is a double-edged sword.
An entrepreneur can overcome obstacles & achieve a high level of success with this “naive perspective” although…
Conversely, if you’ve got the wrong strategy - the harder you work the deeper of a whole you dig. All the hard work, commitment & dedication in the world will do nothing with no plan.
You could be “doing all the right things for the wrong people”. So i think it’s important to maintain macro perspective.

So many people love to call themselves entrepreneurs, but they are slaves of their own business.
Entrepreneurs are the ones who work ON a business, not IN a business.
If you can go away for a two month vacation, and your business is still there when you return, then you’re an entrepreneur.
I’m a slave of mine, because it’s built specifically around what I offer personally and professionally, not as a systematized beast that can grow on its own.
I’m not an entrepreneur.
