Book Foundry Quotes

“Market Validation
They said nobody needs your product,
That your research was a construct
Of wishful thinking, nothing more—
But customers are at your door.
The market speaks in purchases made,
Not in opinions that naysayers trade”

“The Entrepreneur's Creed
I will fail more than I succeed,
I will plant more than I need,
I will give more than I take,
I will build more than I break,
I will learn more than I know,
I will reap more than I sow,
I will try more than is wise,
I will fall more than I rise,
I will dream more than is practical,
I will be more than is tactical,
I will risk more than is safe,
I will create more than is faith,
I will persist when others quit,
I will adapt when others sit,
I will innovate when others copy,
I will be clear when others are sloppy,
I will lead when others follow,
I will fill when others hollow,
I will build when others destroy,
I will create when others employ,
I will question when others accept,
I will reject when others have kept,
I will challenge when others conform,
I will weather when others storm,
I will stand when others kneel,
I will be real when others conceal,
I will speak when others are silent,
I will be defiant when others are pliant,
I will create value where none exists,
I will persist when others desist,
I will see opportunities where others see problems,
I will solve them when others just watch them,
I will take responsibility for outcomes,
I will face the income and the outcomes,
I will build teams that believe,
I will achieve what others can't conceive,
I will change the world in my own way,
I will start today, not someday,
I will be the entrepreneur I'm meant to be,
I will set my vision free,
I will honor those who came before,
I will open every door,
I will leave the world better than I found it,
I will astound it with my commitment,
I will never give up on my dreams,
I will burst at the seams with possibility,
I will embrace responsibility,
I will be the change I wish to see,
I will set my entrepreneurial spirit free—
This is my creed, my solemn vow,
I am an entrepreneur, starting now”
