Most entrepreneurs have a reality distortion field that they sometimes fall victim to, otherwise they wouldn't be doing something as risky (and irrational) as starting a business.
I don't think that's necessary true. The whole thing is a pretty new mentality, previous generations of companies/ founders doesn't seem to have too much of that attitudes (Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon etc.?). And those companies did actually change the world. Instagram and Whatsapp? The verdict is still out there.
Silicon Valley has a distortion field that tells us that entrepreneurship is like something it isn't. Try working for a medical hardware startup instead of a software company.
