What is an entrepreneur?  I'm sure you're already cooking up a response in your head.  Well, try this on for size:

 Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled.

Credit goes to Harvard Business School professor Howard Stevenson.  (Hat tips to Inc. Magazine and LinkedIn for tipping me off.)  I've been thinking about this a lot, because I've had several opportunities I wanted to pursue, but haven't because of resources currently controlled.  Professor Stevenson would say I'm not living up to the definition.

Well, if affirmation and visualization are the first step, then how about this:

I am a lawyer but this is not legal advice. If you choose to rely on my opinions, you do so at your own detriment. If you need legal help, hire an attorney. (If you want to hire me, contact me and we can negotiate representation.) I used to work for the District Attorney's office but my opinions are my own and are not meant to represent the policy or position of anyone else.
