The Lesson: What makes an entrepreneur? Humanity. We are all entrepreneurs. Our entire lives are a sequence of people trying to sell us ideas, opinions, values, as well as goods and services. People are always creating—ideas, opinions, and objects of value. We do it to ourselves.

But if you set the intention and then you take action, that is the formula for manifesting.”
