The Entrepreneur

From Michael Gerber's "E-Myth Revisited" - the book for owners of small businesses

This is a brief quote that I found in Michael Gerber's best-selling book "The E-Myth Revisited". It is about entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship and I love it. Perhaps you like it, too.

"The entrepreneurial personality turns the most trivial condition into an exceptional opportunity. The Entrepreneur is the visionary in us. The dreamer. The energy behind every human activity. The imagination that sparks the fire of the future. The catalyst for change.
The Entrepreneur lives in the future, never in the past, rarely in the present. He's happiest when left free to construct images of "what-if" and "if-when"."

Gerber, Michael E. (1995). The E-Myth revisited: why most small businesses don't work and what to do about it (3rd ed.). New York, NY: HarperCollins, p. 23 f.

There is left to add, that this entrepreneur is just one of three fractions inside the owner of a small business. The other two guys are the Technician and the Manager - similar to the Walt-Disney-Strategy.

Anyway. If you are the owner of a small (or not so small) business, this book might be an interesting read for you. You can get it at Amazon and Barnes & Noble or support your local bookstore and buy it there.
