I agree with you Melissa, this is the difference between a good and a bad business owner.

In my post, I substitute “good business owner” as a “good entrepreneur”

Good article! I have a question though. Isn’t this similar to a good business owner vs bad business owner? (without any assumption to meaning of “business owner”) Because god business owners definitely should stay on top level, see big directions and prepare for development… the things First Tony did were things good business owners shouldn’t be doing. Can you explain that for me?

Great blogpost! I recently read a book talks about the company. It says third class company are backed by human capital, if they recruited the best people, it can work out perfect. Or else it is a nightmare. 2nd class company are backed by the system. They build the perfect system and everyone follows it. 1st class company are backed by culture. Like Zappos, like Alibaba. Together, I hope we can build a great culture for Viralogy!

I strongly agree that Entrepreneurship is a state of mind. We have our own vision, we see things happen, we work hard, then we make things happen. Everyday, we are moving closer to our goal!

Great post, Jun! I think you hit the nail on the head. In my experience, the entrepreneur mindset you’ve described is one that is really picked up by Gen-Y, rather more “experienced” folks. As you wrote, I believe there is a significant difference between an entrepreneur and a business owner - buying a business doesn’t make you an entrepreneur, nor does recreating an established business model or lifestyle. I think that entrepreneurs bring their own spin to either the business model or the lifestyle. If you’re just going to poach someone else’s established idea, why bother?

Hi Jun
This the clearest iteration of the entrepreneur vs business owner big picture I’ve read in a long time.
High on content and context, low on romanticising and preachery!
Just the way it should be!
Cheers,
