Is being an artist and being an entrepreneur different?

Bill Strickland, an entrepreneur from Pittsburgh, was recently quoted in "FastCompany Magazine" of saying the following: "Artists are by nature entrepreneurs, they're just not called that (...) They have the ability to visualize something that doesn't exist (...) Entrepreneurs do that. That's what makes them different from businesspeople".

I suggest you reflect upon this citation and re-evaluate your relationship with being in your own business as an artist.

    Thanks for the tip - rarely have I come across such an inspiring article - a lesson in there for all artists I'm sure. Art has an incredible position in society, to engage and enable change pro-actively, socially and as you have mentioned through the world of entrepreneurialism.
