Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop, said,
”Dysfunction is the essence of entrepreneurship. I’ve had dozens of requests from places like Harvard and Yale to talk about the subject. It makes me laugh that ivy leaguers are so keen to “learn” how to be entrepreneurs, because I’m not convinced it’s a subject you can teach. I mean, how do you teach obsession? Because it is obsession that drives the entrepreneur’s commitment to a vision of something new.
Potential entrepreneurs are outsiders. They are people who imagine things as they might be, not as they are, and have the drive to change the world around them. Those are skills that business schools do not teach.”
Richard Branson, of Virgin fame, said,
“Above all, you want to create something you are proud of… I can honestly say that I have never gone into any business purely to make money… I’ve had to create companies that I believe in 100%. These are companies I feel will make a genuine difference.”
