A lot of times I think people use entrepreneur for people who are wanting to provide a service like a solopreneur as they say like a giger essentially, someone who wants to freelance or whatever because that’s what they want to do, which is totally cool. In my mind there’s a very hard line between that activity and entrepreneurship where you are building a structure and you are building processes and you are building a team and you are taking on risk and all the sorts of things.

Don’t give up there is millions of ways to do it, it is your job to find those.”
