Sarasvathy likes to compare expert entrepreneurs to Iron Chefs: at their best when presented with an assortment of motley ingredients and challenged to whip up whatever dish expediency and imagination suggest. Corporate leaders, by contrast, decide they are going to make Swedish meatballs. They then proceed to shop, measure, mix, and cook Swedish meatballs in the most efficient, cost-effective manner possible.
Via a @Vaguery retweet - a very interesting article about the differences between entrepreneurs and corporate businessmen. Personally, I feel like there’s a middle ground between the two that would give you the best chance to succeed.
