Some remarks

Principles

Options


And entrepreneurs? They seem to have confused the definition of entrepreneurship altogether.

Entrepreneurship, they mistakenly believe, equals financing!

This is wrong.

Over 99% of entrepreneurs who seek funding get rejected.

Yet, the entire world is focused on the 1% that is "fundable."

Funding, ‘Financing’
