After 20 years spent studying, coaching and writing about scores of entrepreneurs, I know this about all of them: They don't question their motivation; don't wonder whether or not they are taking risks; don't ask themselves, "Will this work?"
Instead, they just act--passionately, indefatigably, in pursuit of a goal.
Peter Drucker, a god among management theorists, put it this way in his autobiography, Adventures of a Bystander: "Whenever anything is being accomplished, it is being done, I have learned, by a monomaniac with a mission." But there's more to entrepreneurship than mustering monomaniacal passion, observed Drucker, who also wrote: "The entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it and exploits it as an opportunity."

So for those looking to tap their inner entrepreneur, I suggest tackling this critical question: What about this world do you want to change?
I have often found that the push for change lies deep within a person's psyche. Their ox has been gored, and they seek justice or even revenge.
