Before I was an entrepreneur (and I believe I am one), I had spend nine years as an untenured Assistant Professor at UCLA. And I remembered my colleagues used to spend a great deal of time and efforts subdividing their disciplines and making sure that everyone inside and outside academia classifying them exactly as they wished to be classified. This was a puzzle to me until I read the following quote from Henry Kissinger (after he had left the government but was turned down by Columbia University), "The reason why there are so much politics in academia is because the stake is so low." I believe the stake is very high in entrepreneurship and I think no one benefits from spending too much time worrying about what we should be called. However, I think the article is a very good one, in the sense that there is indeed a whole lot of work in being a "successful" entrepreneur. Good luck everyone. |
