What Entrepreneurs Say about Entrepreneurship
"Innovation is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or a different service. It is capable of being presented as a discipline, capable of being learned, capable of being practiced. Entrepreneurs need to search purposefully for the sources of innovation, the changes and their symptoms that indicate opportunities for successful innovation. And they need to know and to apply the principles of successful innovation."
— Peter F. Drucker, "The Father of Modern Management"
"Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming."
— Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Enterprises
"We were young, but we had good advice and good ideas and lots of enthusiasm. Our success has really been based on partnerships from the very beginning.”
— Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft Corporation
