Thinking like an entrepreneur is not very popular.
Usually, it gets trained out of people from the ages of 5-17. This means a lot of conditioning to undo once you decide you want to once again think like an entrepreneur.
Following instructions at school, studying for the same test as everyone else, multichoice answers, school hours between 9 and 3, all these teach us to conform. We’re primed to get on the payroll straight after school, and work for the next 40 years bewteen the hours of 9-5.
What a waste.
