I have always told my friends that the difference between entrepreneurs and larger corporations is that entrepreneurs tend to be more proactive, whereas larger, older corporations are predominantly reactive. Obviously, there are exceptions to the rule with companies like Apple and Google, but for the most part, we as entrepreneurs have to view things differently in order to be out in front of an event or trend that may or may not happen. That definitely takes vision.
