What unites the entrepreneur ‘ s campaign to achieve a goal and to be an independent actor on the world stage is the vision that he or she has about the concept, innovation or invention and its purpose in the grand scheme of things. Hickman and Silva offer the proposition that a “vision is a mental journey from the known to the unknown, creating the future from a montage of current facts, hopes, dreams, dangers and opportunities. Entrepreneurs clearly see the desired goal and virtually live within the vision of a fulfilled condition even though they may be a long way from achieving it. It is a tension created by the gap between reality (which stage the venture is at ) and the envisioned and achieved goal, that drives the entrepreneur onward, with persistence, dedication, and commitment.
