Entrepreneurship and doing the impossible.
Imagine the situation – you are a bank manager and the man
sitting opposite you is pitching his business idea. He is going to sell a
cartoon mouse to the public and build a business empire on the back of its
success.
Now most bank managers I know would have been reaching for
the security guard after the first few minutes, how can a guy be so crazy!

I am of course talking about Walt Disney who literally
created a $49 billion annual turnover company (or thereabouts on current
performance) from the strength of a cartoon mouse.
You also probably know that Disney’s first attempt at an
animation company went into bankruptcy? He did not allow this to stop his dream
of initially building an animation business around a cartoon mouse and the rest
as they say is history.
The lessons an entrepreneur can take from this is failure
does not define who you are, and if the desire is strong enough you can do the
impossible including building a company worth over $96 billion in market
capitalization value.
