Blogger/entrepreneur David Weisburd offers this view of what success means in his entrepreneurial journey:
So why do it all? Why not do something more “productive” like writing and psychology, two of my favorite hobbies?
The answer is simple, nowhere in the world can you influence as many people as you can through entrepreneurship. It is the ultimate leverage of societal influence and change. Be it entrepreneurship in business, nonprofit, politics, etc.
You can create new products/services, give employment to hundreds or thousands, and have a place where people can come to develop their skills and grow as individuals.
