Politics Is The Opposite Of Entrepreneurship

There seems to be one main similarity between politics and entrepreneurship; they both try to create change.  However, the methodologies that they use to make change happen couldn't be more different.

This Is What Starting A Business Looks Like

Flattening The Bell Curve

The Bell Curve This is a bell curve and is what the world used to look like.  People used to watch the same movies and TV shows as one another, listen to the same songs on the radio as one another and even talk about the same topics as one another.
