I don’t buy completely the I-want-the-Ferrari-too or I-must-have-it-all-including-Rock-Star-Fame attitude but I think there is definitely something that would be worth a behavioural study – let’s not use big words as psychological.
This article includes great gems – I can’t report them all but I can’t resist quoting some of them either:
Mark Pincus (serial entrepreneur):
“For entrepreneurs like me,” he told me, “I'd say we're happy the boom busted, that the majority of M.B.A. carpetbaggers went B2B and B2C'' -- back, that is, to banking and consulting. “We're now left with real entrepreneurs who will continue to make bold bets, sometimes right and more often wrong, having a ton of fun in the process -- especially when they're right.”
These words might sound strange in the mouth of an HBS graduate but I see his point – London Business School entrepreneurship classes are filled with people waiting for the next bubble too, yet few have real experience or true appetite for innovation. :)
Sunil Paul (partner of Mark who sold Brightmail, to Symantec for $370 million):
“We are not ready to stop changing the world.”
I just need to find one of these “Please God, Just One More Bubble.” stickers now... ... and get back on preparing my Managerial Accounting (yerk) exam which is in less that 3 hours now.
