It is the rarest entrepreneur, such as Bill Gates, that can manage and continue to grow the business. Everything that embodies her exploits involves education and change. She once tried to buy back outstanding shares and take the company private with a goal of diverting the profits to a non-profit for social efforts. Unfortunately her attempt failed. Love her or hate her, it takes an incredibly influential and dedicated person to mobilize people to take a company from a single store to a major retailer as well as take on large-scale causes especially when they impact so many lives.
Entrepreneurs make change.
Most people are risk and change averse. Entrepreneurs handle adversity and see it as a challenge. A Matter of Conscious Choosing by John E. Renesch, Anita Roddick.
