“The, if you're really logical about things, you're not an entrepreneur. Yeah. If you are like one of those who's, you know, doing this SWOT analysis, or doing a two by two, and you know, and analyzing and paralyzing, you're not an entrepreneur. Because an entrepreneur is effectively looking at an opportunity, not with the probability of conversion. An entrepreneur looks at the possibility of a conversion. If the possibility exists, he'll go for it. And that is the whole difference between an entrepreneur mindset or an entrepreneur, not an entrepreneur. It's the probability to the possibility.”
