It Doesn't Matter If You Call It

Entrepreneurs Can't Forecast Accurately, Because They Are Trying Something Fundamentally New. So They Will Often Be Laughably Behind Plan - And On The Brink Of Success.

Meritocracy Is A Good Thing. Whenever Possibly, People Should Be Judged Based On Their Work And Results, Not Superficial Qualities.

What Differentiates The Success Stories From The Failures Is That The Successful Entrepreneurs Had The Foresight, The Ability, And The Tools To Discover Which Parts Of Their Plans Were Working Brilliantly And Which Were Misguided, And Adapt Their Strategies Accordingly.

The Grim Reality Is That Most Start-ups Fail. Most New Products Are Not Successful. Yet The Story Of Perseverance, Creative Genius, And Hard Work Persists.

Science And Vision Are Not Opposites Or Even At Odds. They Need Each Other. I Sometimes Hear Other Startup Folks Say Something Along The Lines Of: 'if Entrepreneurship Was A Science, Then Anyone Could Do It.' I'd Like To Point Out That Even Science Is A Science, And Still Very Few People Can Do It, Let Alone Do It Well.
