I loved this quote shared by Ben Horowitz<\/a> last night at a Columbia University held launch for his new book.<\/p>\n

The whole hour of Q&A was pretty good, he touched on Leadership, the struggle of being the entrepreneur making the change, being courageous.<\/p>\n

It was really good – put me in good stead for his book: The Hard Thing about Hard Things<\/a>\u00a0which I’m about to start.<\/p>\n

He went on to say, that if [the innovation] looked like a good idea it would already have been done. \u00a0True innovation looks like a good idea.<\/p>\n
