You’ve Been Lied to if you Think Starting a Business is a Risk

Creativity isn’t divine intervention

It’s a choice

Is it one you made yesterday?
Is it one you could make today?
Are you bold enough to make tomorrow?

Collectively, our biggest problem is our misunderstanding of how products and services are created. We’ve been told that doing so is a risk, when it is the safest thing you can do. This is one of the reasons for the disparity of wealth that currently afflicts us all.

That does not belittle the negative impact current taxation policy has on ensuring the rich get richer and the gap to the middle class swells

Instead it makes reference to the way in which you can close the gap without having faith in the government to do the right thing.

The conventional wisdom is that starting a company is a risk

That is not true

Not starting a company is a risk that can be measured in the opportunity to flourish economically that you are giving up.
