The Mark of a True Entrepreneur

The traditional aristocracy of inherited wealth, position and influence is a false one, in my mind.

You were born into an influential family. You went to the right kindergarten, the right grade school, the right college, and you party with the right people. You invented the phrase and the wink, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”

You are a house cat.

You think desperation is an enemy that should be avoided at all costs. But who else can you turn to when you need to clear your mind, focus your thoughts, summon your courage, and unleash your creativity?

Desperation will do all of this for you, and more.

Desperation is the friend and the ally of every alley cat.

Desperation is the mark of every true entrepreneur.

Have I angered you? I’m sorry. That wasn’t my intention. I was just hoping to encourage those friends who are facing deadly peril, whose options are limited, whose bank accounts are depleted, whose backs are against the wall.

That’s never been you? Oh… now I see why you’re angry.
You’ve never really had an adventure.

When we’re having an adventure, we wish we were safe at home. But when we’re safe at home, we wish we were having an adventure.

Stress and trouble are the unmistakable marks of adventure.
