subject: Ego and the Entrepreneur -private label [print this page] I have been involved in several start-up ventures and this is a common pattern that occurs. As I sit at the Venture Club of Indiana and listen to new ideas being pitched around the table, the pattern is there. The "New Entrepreneur" is excited about their great idea, yet they cannot really articulate how to make money with it. Their assumptions about their market are not well defined and they do not really understand what it takes to get a business going. They don't understand why no one will invest in their business. They are passionate about the idea and their ego loves the fact that they can now put President on their business card.
