When I see people basing the scoreboard on something else, I realize that they're not real entrepreneurs." I'd edit with this. I think when people start basing the scoreboard on SOMEONE else then they aren't real entrepreneurs. However if you create some amazing then that counts for a lot. The goal of an entrepreneur is to capitalize off of economic disequilibrium, but that doesn't necessarily mean turning a profit on day one. Look how long it took Amazon to get into the black. “The scoreboard for me is always earnings.
