The difference between investing and entrepreneurship is this:
Investing is a game designed for the accumulation of wealth.
Entrepreneurship is a game we take for the journey itself.
If we’re planning on starting a business simply to accumulate money, we’ve got it wrong. We wont enjoy it. It’s too hard. If we’re driven only by the financial rewards, we’d be better off learning to become great investors. Investing isn’t as hard. There are tried and true investing methods that civilizations have been using for millennia to generate money. If you stay the course on them it’s nearly impossible to fail.
If an entrepreneur has great success the rewards can be financially significant. In fact, the biggest financial prizes are won this way. But it’s the wrong path if that’s why we take it.
