An Ode to Entrepreneurs

I received an email from small business copywriter Troy White a couple of weeks ago that I really liked. Troy gave me permission to post it here to our site. It’s called Ode to Entrepreneurs and touches on the mindset and many of the aspects we as entrepreneurs face every day. I hope you like it as much as I do. So…

This is for you if you’re an entrepreneur (or one in the making) …

We are the dreamers.Eagle  Soaring
The visionaries.
The doers.

We are your neighbors.
Your friends.
Or your family.

We pursue our dreams, rather than letting them die a slow death.
We’ve learned to ignore the negative people in our lives.

We know we are different.
And we relish in it.

We are unemployable.

We are good people.

We are writers.
Artists.
Technicians.
Directors and creatives.

We have a disdain for bureaucracy and red tape.

We love to build and enjoy our creations.

We are most definitely off the wall.
…Yet the most sane of them all.

We are passionate about our trade.
Yet we realize most people would never leave the ‘security’ of a job to live their dreams like we do.

We are the biggest employers out there.
We stick to it, amidst economic turmoil and media frenzied trash talking.

Thank the entrepreneurs that you know.
Tell them to keep on plugging and building.

Embrace the entrepreneurial spirit.
We are the future.

    Thank you for sharing this Ken. Entrepreneurs ARE the unsung heroes of job and wealth creation. Many people don’t realize that… but I do. Each and every one of you that owns your own business deserves a pat on the back… it is up to all of us to keep things rolling and get the economy back on track! Thanks again. Troy

    You are quite welcome Troy.  I believe one of the greatest things about entrepreneurs is their (our) determination to succeed, even in the face of adversity, even when it seems like we are only moving in small increments, at yet we persevere.

    100% Agree, and sometimes things are so tough that most people choose to give up.

    Yes, they do.  Many times right before they could have a major breakthrough.
