A nice metaphor for a common mistake entrepreneurs make when formulating goals and starting a business...

Excellent. This is a dangerous pitfall that can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. If you've based your businesses around a boat, and you're convinced there's a market for it, then don't go turning it into a plane at the last minute, or you might end up with neither.

If he was a real entrepreneur, he would have made it with the boat... Nice story though!
