This should be considered a powerful quote that everyone should live by.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoExactly, in fairness I think the original author has figured this out, but its an important litmus test. If you want to be an entrepreneur you first need to discover a problem you are passionate about fixing, and you enjoy working on. You will need that to carry you through the hard work. Finding that is best done by working for someone else and spending your personal time reading, networking, and listening. While you are working for someone else, hone those skills that make you a better employee, and you can use as an entrepreneur, get better at writing code, develop tools to communicate clearly, think through assignments and figure out what needs to be done to complete them. All great skills.
