The Constructive Use of Hate and Fear by Entrepreneurs and Others Seeking Personal and Economic Self Determination.

Lipper, Arthur, III

Journal of Creative Behavior, v23 n3 p186-93 1989

The paper analyzes fear and hate as motivating forces in entrepreneurship. Fear can drive entrepreneurs, as they attempt to control their fear of poverty, loneliness, and being controlled by others. Hate, such as hatred of sloth and waste or hatred of being told something cannot be done, can also motivate entrepreneurs. (JDD)
