Entrepreneurs are opportunity focused and they reject limited options. In general they ignore restrictions and find it hard to understand that people think in limitations, problems, etc. Kennedy states in The Ultimate Marketing Plan, "It's amazing how people spent their lives in prisons entirely of their own making, the key dangling right there in the lock, no jailer in sight....
