Is entrepreneurship thinking outside the box?

Yes and no…  Typically an entrepreneur is tagged as someone who thinks outside the box.  This person does not necessarily play by the rules.  They are thought of as doing something fresh and new.  They are innovators.

While entrepreneurship and innovation go hand-in-hand, that does not mean that entrepreneurs are not purposeful.  In his book “Innovation and Entrepreneurship,” Peter Drucker represents innovation and entrepreneurship as purposeful tasks that can be organized…and as systematic work.

Drucker posits that innovation and entrepreneurship are more than just associated with start-up companies, but are elements of an executive’s job.  Any business, start-up or established could benefit from entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurship is more than a frame of mind or way of thinking.  Entrepreneurship can be a way of doing business – whether it be starting one, sustaining one, or making one grow.  Could you use more of the entrepreneurial spirit?
