Last week, Babson Business Law Professor Carolyn Hotchkiss talked to our leadership and ethics class about ethics in business and entrepreneurship.

Notably,

Great Entrepreneurs are passionate about an idea, not scads of money.

This really resonated for me. I’ve always felt uncomfortable when people introduce themselves as a “serial entrepreneur,” because the term seems to indicate that you don’t stick with something. Additionally, most self-dubbed serial entrepreneurs I know have flipped their companies, or the companies have failed, but rarely have they been the companies that I’ve heard of and respect.

It’s not as though I think that you have to do one thing forever- but if you don’t care about an idea, why do it?
