62% of adult Americans want to be their own bosses. Don't blame them, right? But only 9% take that leap or decide to do something about it. So I love this definition of entrepreneurship from the Harvard Business School, and it says entrepreneurship is pursuing novel opportunity while lacking resources. If it were easy, everybody would have done it. So you're trying to build something from scratch, or you've already started and you're struggling, so you want to grow and scale what you've started already. That's entrepreneurship.
