Entepreneurship is not about generosity

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

If a salaried worker gives away money, do we call that entrepreneurship?  No.

Entrepreneurship is not about selflessness and generosity.  It’s about pursuing ones self interest and exercising talents and conquering challenges.

In order to be successful, an entrepreneur must learn to serve others – to make others lives better by providing the products and services others buy in voluntary exchange – as that customer pursues their own self interest.

If an entrepreneur does make money and wants to give it away that’s generous, and a whole different thing, but it has nothing to do with entrepreneurship or ones responsibilities.

Does that make sense?

Many fail to see the invisible hand at work…good stuff
