LIFE Entrepreneurship

Jim Collins, author of GOOD to GREAT was asked recently how he
defines entrepreneurship. He responded:

"I take a broad view of it. The traditional definition---founding
an entity designed to make money---is too narrow for me.
I see entrepreneurship as more of a life concept.
We all make choices how we live our lives. You can take the
paint-by-numbers approach, or you can start with a blank canvas.
When you paint by numbers, the end result is guaranteed.
You know what it's going to be, and it might be good, but it
will never be a masterpiece. Starting with a blank canvas is the
only way to get a masterpiece, but you also could blow up.
So...are you going to pick the paint-by-numbers kit,
or the blank canvas ?
Thats a LIFE question, not a business question !"

Well said !
What about you ??
