Entrepreneurship isn’t for everybody, just as not everybody jumps at a product when it’s first launched – kinks, bugs, and all.
However, in my experience it isn’t so far out of grasp as many people might think. Bruce Gibney and Ken Howery, both from the VC Firm “Founders Fund”, explore this idea in their article from the Harvard Business Review.
In their words:
“Not everyone is suited to join a new company. But as a society we can’t discourage those who are so inclined from joining, especially in a persistently stalled economy. We need to reconcile the realities and the rhetoric: entrepreneurship is everything we hope it to be.”
Couldn’t agree more. The full article is here:

Holy crap! These knuckleheads were literally my fraternity brothers.
Sure, at “Harvard”, right?!
No. It was at “Stanford.”
TWO universities? Wait – there’s no way you could be in two universities plus a theater of operations all at the same time.THERE”S JUST NO WAY! (Insert Shannon ‘fingers-in-ears-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-nope-nope-nope response’ here).
Reminds me of a Kids in the Hall skit: “Aren’t you… lying? Aren’t you in fact, a liar? NO MORE QUESTIONS!!!” except I think she’d be more the defendant in this case and you the prosecutor.
