ENTREPRENEURING NOT ABOUT THEORY!
” Entrepreneurs are agents
of change BECAUSE they
reject traditional approaches.”
I just read a blog post that goes into the depths of theoretical discussion about what is attracting entrepreneurial innovation and it suggests that entrepreneurs care about this slop.
The author goes so far as to toss out my 30 year-old “Entrepreneurs are the agents of change” quote that I picked up from Entrepreneurial guru Bob Schwartz when I attended his New School for Entrepreneurs in Tarrytown, New York, back in another lifetime, and this Disneyland bloggette uses it as justification for further suggestions that entrepreneurs run on theoretical fuel.
Please people. Entrepreneurship is a state of existence brought on by those with independent business streaks running through their blood that are far beyond being able to be classified in any kind of theoretical dissertation. Entrepreneurs are agents of change BECAUSE they reject traditional approaches to doing things. And certainly, they have no regard for theory under any circumstances.
Let’s put away all the B.S. rationalizations and just accept the fact that entrepreneurs cannot be quantified or categorized by any standard or traditional measure. And you know what? Thank God! Entrepreneurship is what’s made this country great. It’s the reason there is even a shred of optimistic existence in today’s economic suckiness.
Leave entrepreneurs alone. Be grateful they exist. Nurture them. But stop trying to figure them out, and PLEASE don’t pretend they care about your theories. They care only about pursuing their ideas and convictions. They care only about making things happen. If you’re going to analyze them, be one first. You’ll realize how foolhardy your psychoanalysis ambitions can actually be. halalpiar
