Entrepreneur as magician

Being an entrepreneur is a bit like being a magician.

With sleight of hand, you make it look as though you make money out of nothing at all. Your income doesn’t come from a paycheque: you don’t get one.

Instead, you make things, or come up with ideas for things and then you find a market to buy those things.

But make no mistake.

Just like a master magician, your performance comes from years of practice at perfecting a thousand little things. You just make it look easy to others.
