I think what a lot of people miss is that an entrepreneur is an entrepreneur. Now you have to be a little bit different kind of entrepreneur in a corporate world, but you still must be an entrepreneur, right? Corporations live or die on the ability to change, right?

One is the body, the whole working together. The other is entrepreneur, individual seeking success on his own.
