2) Entrepreneurs have a vision of starting a business, but unless they have a sale, they don’t have a business – they have a very expensive hobby.
3) Entrepreneurs have incredible ideas that the world needs, but there’s something keeping their ideas from the world. That thing is the FEAR of selling.
