I grew up as a businessman in very scarce and entrepreneurial environment -  not much resources, and at times 0.  I was born poor from a family who were squatters.  Our family started on a land that was not hours.  By virtue of thrift and hard work, we were able to build something.

An entrepreneur is defined as somebody who built a product/business with little or no resource.  So my hair rise if a subordinate reports that he cant do something because he does not have this or that  -  ie being resource oriented.. rather than being resourceful or having a culture of entitlement.  -  a nice car, a nice office, perks first, rather than finding out or delivering the results.

Thus corporate souls usually end up failures when they put up their own businesses.  Rather than focusing on what the new enterprise has (ability) they focus on what they  do not have (disability) waste their energy on the latter and thus fail...
