What is the difference between an entrepreneur and someone who just runs a business? Entrepreneurs are leaders. “Leaders walk in front and show others the way. They lift the heavy boxes first and, like Tom Sawyer, they start out by painting the fence better and faster than the crowd who gathered to watch them. It is awe that makes the crowd members pick up a brush and join in.” Forbes Magazine
