People who made a difference
Section summary:
We forget that the people who built empires often started from scratch. Many of them at their inception could hardly be called a business.

An entrepreneur, like a writer, creates something original that did not exist before him. Sometimes it is better to be transported into the world of a fictional story. This is so that you can return later to solve difficult problems and look at them in a completely different way.
