On Fire With Ignorance

You cannot achieve the impossible without occasionally attempting the absurd. If you don't know you can fail, or refuse to believe it, getting up every day with a positive attitude becomes easier. Getting up off the mat after a knockdown becomes easier. Starting off with another new idea after you've finally had to walk away from the last one - for whatever reason - becomes easier. Being an entrepreneur became fashionable in the 1980's. By the end of the decade, the word itself was big business: it was trumpeted in publications, on Web sites, by inspirational speakers, even in apparel. Many of the world's self-proclaimed entrepreneurs are flashes in the pan that occasionally make a fast buck but have no staying power. Then there are those who give up when the going gets tough and, tail between their legs, go back to the grind. It really is easier to just work for somebody else and take the check. A full blooded entrepreneur is someone who is willing to take huge risks. Someone willing to run down a thousand blind alleys and knock on a million doors trying to sell new ideas that only they fully understand and believe in, visions no one else can clearly see at first, if ever. I believe it's better to be approximately right than precisely wrong. So if you're satisfied you've done your homework, go ahead and jump into the deep end and get on with it.
