    A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out
    to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of
    his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a
    worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever
    it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which
    he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and
    should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to
    wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the
    royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he
    fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must
    until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the
    measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for
    future power and triumph.

Entrepreneurs are risk takers, willing to roll the dice with their money or reputation on the line in support of an idea or enterprise. They willingly assume responsibility for the success or failure of a venture and are answerable for all its facets. The buck not only stops at their desks, it starts there too.
