I have a friend who’s a real entrepreneur and he actually had a girl tell him she wouldn’t date him because of this fact. I guess she wanted to marry a doctor. More power to her.

But I think that this situation is a rarity. Entrepreneurs are the bad boys and girls of the industry. The typical MBA grad working for corporate America would be like the day hiker—safe, easy, and comfortable wearing American Eagle in public. But the entrepreneurs are like the rock climbers, with the cool long hair, calloused hands, Oakleys, and the vintage rock band shirt.

You tell me which you prefer. If you really would rather play it safe, go for it, but let’s face it.  Being dangerous is cool.

I think that perhaps what makes entrepreneurs so exciting and interesting is the fact that they look cool without trying to look cool. They don’t use a Mac simply because the Apple logo is hip. They use a Mac because it’s the best. They don’t just use Email fax because it’s cutting edge. They use it because it makes smart economic sense. And they don’t eat organic food because it’s all the rage. They eat it because they know it will give them the energy to scale those mountains with their bare hands.

Perhaps we could use a little more cool in our world.
