An entrepreneur is someone who will jump off a cliff and assemble an airplane on the way down.

Entrepreneurs are everywhere

Entrepreneurship is essentially an act of creating something new from scratch. Predicting that society will want it, and then figuring out how to scale it, and get it to everybody in a profitable way, in a self-sustaining way.

All human beings are entrepreneurs.

The Entrepreneur is our creative personality — always at its best dealing with the unknown, prodding the future, creating probabilities out of possibilities, engineering chaos into harmony

You can start out with nothing, and out of nothing, and out of no way, a way will be made.

The husband and wife who open another delicatessen store or another Mexican restaurant in the American suburb surely take a risk. But are they entrepreneurs? All they do is what has been done many times before. They gamble on the increasing popularity of eating out in their area, but create neither a new satisfaction nor new consumer demand. Seen under this perspective they are surely not entrepreneurs even though theirs is a new venture. McDonald’s, however, was entrepreneurship. It did not invent anything, to be sure. Its final product was what any decent American restaurant had produced years ago. But by applying management concepts and management techniques (asking, What is “value” to the customer?), standardizing the “product,” designing process and tools, and by basing training on the analysis of the work to be done and then setting the standards it required, McDonald’s both drastically upgraded the yield from resources, and created a new market and a new customer. This is entrepreneurship.

In art, it thrives in the rarefied arena of the avant-garde. In business, The Entrepreneur is the innovator, the grand strategist, the creator of new methods

Entrepreneurs are everywhere. You don’t have to work in a garage to be in a startup. The concept of entrepreneurship includes anyone who works within my definition of a startup: a human institution designed to create new products and services under conditions of extreme uncertainty. That means entrepreneurs are everywhere and the Lean Startup approach can work in any size company, even a very large enterprise, in any sector or industry.

A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business. — Henry Ford, innovating automaker

Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice.

the successful entrepreneur’s unique ability to turn trying times into triumphs.

O Empreendedor é a nossa personalidade criativa — sempre a dar o seu melhor quando está a lidar com o desconhecido, tocando o futuro e transformando possibilidades em probabilidades, aplicando o seu engenho na transformação do caos em harmonia.

I’m going to be an entrepreneur so I can be free. Free to do whatever I want, whenever I want, with whomever I want.
