Here is one of my favorite quotes:

“Have the end in mind and every day make sure you’re working towards it.”
-Ryan Allis, co-founder and CEO iContact

I wanted to talk to you about a type of people that everybody forgets about and people don't actually know that they exist.

So let's say, for example, you are in that demographic, but you have no idea why. And sometimes it's actually not plaguing your life, but it's putting you down thinking that you don't have it when you actually have.

So anyway, it's a little bit cryptic, but I'm going to explain what I mean.

So I meet a lot of people who would like to be entrepreneurs. They obviously don't want all the risks, all the stuff that breaks all the time and all the uncertainty and stuff. People obviously don't want this, but they would like to be able to be an entrepreneur. And what does it mean for people to be an entrepreneur?

So this notion of digital nomad that didn't exist a few years ago now is pretty popular. Right. So if you ask someone what an entrepreneur is, that might be your definition.

There is this notion that you build a business from scratch and it's your business and all that kind of stuff. Right. But here's the thing. You may be in that case where you feel bad because some people are entrepreneurial and you're not. And you feel that they are better than you and all that kind of stuff.

I'm going to reveal something. There are two different things. Being an entrepreneur and having your own business, it is two different things. OK let me explain what I mean.

Let's say, for example, there is this big company, like Apple. The manager of this huge division is going to say, look, we need to innovate. We need something. Come up with something and these are the directions that you have.

So that person who works within Apple has to basically reinvent the future and how people behave, how people consume stuff, how people act, how people communicate and everything.

This is why you are probably more awesome than you think.

This person, even though they're working inside a company, well, it's not their company. Right. They didn't create the company. They didn't start the company from scratch. But they still need some vision. Right.

So they need a vision of, OK, this is what we're doing now. This is where I want the world to go.

So that person wasn't someone who created business from scratch and invented the mobile phone. It was someone, a visionary within a company that said this is where the innovation needs to go. This is my vision. I want people to be able to do this.

So these people, they have the same vision as someone that you typically refer to as an entrepreneur, the person who has their own business. So that's why I was telling you it has actually nothing to do with it.

So some of these people have the vision, they have the commitment, the commitment that's required to, you know, to take a vision and transform it into something. They have the innovation. They want to innovate. They want to change the world.

They see something. They see a better opportunity and stuff and they have to study their market. They have to see where the flaws are in the market and where the biggest opportunities on the market are.

So that's what people usually think about when they think about the employee. But you have this other kind of entrepreneur within an existing business and these people, they've done more remarkable things than a lot of entrepreneurs who have their own business.

So it may be you have been thinking so far, that, man my life is a mess, a failure because I don't have my own business and all that kind of stuff. I'm not an entrepreneur. I would like to be one. Well, chances are that you are an entrepreneur, especially if you're listening to this podcast.

I created this podcast for people who like to see what other angles are there. And they can use that knowledge to create something new, something better. And this is what entrepreneurs will do, OK, regardless if it's your business or not.

I so, you know, I hope it makes sense. And it's one of those notions that, again, only a few people kind of know about and respect.
