A hairdresser or a gardener is an entrepreneur too. I dont know where this moronic idea that everyone wants to create some new Facebook or Google just because they want to be on their own.
What happened to growing a sustainable business around the craft you believe you are good at?
- ekanes 8y agoNo, the hairdresser/gardener/accountant etc is self-employed. It's a spectrum, but basically it goes from self-employed but not novel all the way across to world-changing. Both are self-employed, but to the difference between the hairdresser and Elon Musk or Steve Jobs isn't scale. It's novelty.
- JohnFen 8y ago> No, the hairdresser/gardener/accountant etc is self-employed. What do you mean "no"? Being self-employed is pretty much the definition of "entrepreneur"
- AstralStorm 8y agoIf so, then Microsoft was not an enterprise and Bill Gates was not an entrepreneur when they started. After all, they bought their software and sold for and established company. Zero novelty involved. (In that vein, almost all enterprises failed, the second coming of the innovation is where things usually happen. Or later.)

Go to any coffeeshop in SF and eavesdrop on the derps talking about their big ideas. "It's like twitter mixed with grindr... But for Lyft drivers. I'd tell you more, but I'll need you to sign an nda."
