Editor's Notes
Baseline definition.
Ben Franklin was the ultimate entrepreneur.
Many examples of entrepreneurship.
Problem solving is at core of entrepreneurship.
The future is not inevitable. You get to problem solve.
Side benefit #1: entrepreneurship makes you happy.
Side benefit #2: entrepreneurship lets you work with people you love.
Side benefit #3: entrepreneurship can enable a short commute.
Plus: with commoditization of education, you need to differentiate yourself.
No one has any idea what he/she is doing in the beginning; don’t be fooled.
In the beginning you’re going to be bad at it.
Creativity stems from hard work. You need role models.
Paul Graham says: make what people want.
I was working on a serious startup. People “loved” it. People lie.
This is what real desire looks like.
Pick a field with people you love.
Suffering is everywhere.
Big markets.
Renewable energy hasn’t been ideal structurally because batteries have tended to lag generation technology.
Given new sensors and government programs, healthcare structure is good today for entrepreneurship.
