When you see gourds, what do you think of? How about entrepreneurship? Because any farmer who has made it this far into the new millennium has beaten incredible odds to get those gourds to the farmer's market. Each farmer has survived by retooling the business model to compete with the mega-farm. If you think you have an idea, but you're too scared to try it, trail a farmer for a day to understand that it's the process of finding a good life that makes a good entrepreneur. Not whether or not your first idea works.
