Through examples and analysis of the innovative thoughts and achievements of more than 200 entrepreneurial leaders, Robertson shows how readers can cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset to better their lives and their world.
A deliberate pause is a conscious moment in which we open our minds and ask "why are things the way they are?" and wonder "how could life be better?" Pausing to ask such questions is a natural and uniquely human inclination. It's also the critical factor that sparks fresh ideas and is seized by entrepreneurs to catalyze seismic changes--ones that allow humanity to progress.
A Deliberate Pause (the book) reveals the power of a deliberate pause (the action) while unveiling unexpected truths about entrepreneurship itself. Through example, exploration, and analysis of the innovative thoughts and achievements of more than 200 seasoned entrepreneurial leaders, Larry Robertson shows how each of us can adopt a deliberate pause and an entrepreneurial mindset to better our lives, our species, and our world. In the process, he gives us the understanding of entrepreneurship we've been missing--and need now more than ever.
"What distinguishes humans from other life forms, one thing at least, is entrepreneurship. It is in every human being and everything human."
