Quote
- In response to a query to describe the ideal entrepreneur using one word:
- "Lucky. Because so many serendipitous things seem to happen to some entrepreneurs that made them successful that it's mindboggling. For example, if Digital Research hadn't blown off IBM, who knows what would have happened to Microsoft. To be sure it's good to have smart, honest, and hard-working entrepreneurs too. And maybe luck comes to this type of entrepreneur, but it sure helps to be lucky."Folksonomy: Interview with Guy Kawasaki (September 7, 2006)—Guy Kawasaki
