Build to create some returns...

Good post, but even better, a great quote from Ross Mayfield

My grandpa taught me the difference between an entrepreneur and a businessman is the entrepreneur is in it for the quick flip, while a businessman makes a lasting contribution to the community.

I have had that conversation many time inside Occam Capital or with some Entrepreneurs, and Ross sums it all: it's all about building to create some returns for yourself and your investors... ...so you can build again focusing on the next thing!
