Something I’ve learned in business is this: When building and growing a successful business, it doesn’t get easier…

But what does change is YOUR tolerance level. Every day there is a treadmill of problems. Some days you will be really bothered by it while other days you will handle it with grace.

Your ability to psychologically interact with all of the occurrences that make up a day… is what makes the difference. A business is solving problems for a profit. If there were no problems in the world, there would be no businesses.

People have this fantasy that they will someday have a company where nothing is messed up. Here’s the reality: There’s ALWAYS going to be messes. If you can’t handle confusion… If you can’t deal with playing broken… If you can’t make decisions with limited information… then you probably don’t have the psychological makeup to be an Entrepreneur and you should probably be working for somebody.

Many people run around taking pictures in front of private planes they rent for one hour… just to call themselves an “Entrepreneur”. But that’s not what an Entrepreneur is. Entrepreneurs are savvy risk-takers.

Jean-Baptiste Say first coined the word “Entrepreneur” in 1804. One of my favorite quotes of his is: “The Entrepreneur shifts economic resources out of an area of lower and into an area of higher productivity and greater yield.”

Ask yourself: What needs to be solved? Then, solve it for a profit.
