3. You have more than 365 days of "comp time" accumulated.
4. You limit your fluid intake so you can stay at your desk longer.
5. Your rich friends wince every time you catch their eye.
6. Your grandmother has come to know your elevator pitch by heart.

No

One entreprenuer to another. "Why are you so depressed?"
My investor just turned down my proposal.
"Don't worry" said his friend, "when they say 'no' they are just manuevering for negotiating room."
"He didn't say 'no,' he said "Phooey!"

Happiness?

One entreprenuer to another: "They say that money doesn't buy happiness. I'm dying to test that hypothesis for myself."

Clearing

I've got this great twist on the Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. We send out a hard-sell mailer that says "You owe us a million dollars."

Business models

The math department decided that they wanted more power so they started an organized crime ring. The problem was that they kept making people offers they coudn't understand!

Career Choice
Kids tend to get their career ideas from what their parents do.

My son wants to be an entreprenuer. He tells his friends "My dad spends almost all his time at work. It must really be fun!

Hot Item

A local entrepreneur has come up with an innovative new product which has taken the market by storm.
The product is corduroy pillow cases. They are so popular they are making headlines.

Apples and Oranges

One entrepreneur is talking to another. "I don't know what the big deal about Apple is. I mean, take away their loyal customer base, their innovative products, and their constant flow of free publicity and hype, and what do you have?"

His friend said, "Well, I guess you would have your company."

Lesson

As Entrepreneurs we tend to want to teach our children the lessons that we have learned. Sometimes this is confusing to them. One entrepreneur sat his four year old son down and said
"It's time for your lesson." What's two plus two?
The little boy said "Two plus two is Six."
"No, son," his father said, two plus two is not six. "Two plus two is four."
"I'm sorry, father," said the little boy. "I thought we were negotiating."

Blameless

I got a call from a man looking for a job.

He says "I am high-principled. I never go to bars, nightclubs, or movies. I haven't touched a drop of alcohol for 15 years, I am loyal to my wife, I haven't looked at another woman for 15 years, I go to bed and rise at the same time every day, and have attended chapel every Sunday for 15 years without fail. I will be available to start work in 8 months."

I said, "You sound like just what we are looking for, but I would like to hire you immediately, why the 8 months?"

"Well that's when I am eligible for parole."

Best Deal

During the Ukrainian elections two Ukrainians were talking.

One said, I don't know who to vote for. The Social Democratic party offered me $10 for my vote, but the Liberal party only offered me $5.

His friend advised him "I'd vote for the Liberal party, they only seem half as corrupt."

This joke has been in the public domain for at least 100 years

Success

Have you heard of the entrepreneur bragging to his grandchildren: "I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it left."

© Copyright Mark W. Lund 2005
Inspiration

One entrepreneur is explaining to another how he got into business.

"I was afraid to go out on my own, but my former boss gave me a jump start by telling me the most encouraging two words in my life. One day he came into my office and said "You're fired."

© Copyright Mark W. Lund 2005
Balance

I'm not too sure about my CFO. When I asked him how our balance was he held his arms out and stood on one foot.

© Copyright Mark W. Lund 2005
Something Down

Have you heard about the entrepreneur that was told by his doctor that he had come down with the Asian Bird Flue? He was delighted.
"Now when my creditors come by I have something to give them!"

Retirement

One man says to his friend "I heard that Joe is retiring from business."

His friend said "Oh, I have heard him say that before."

This joke is in the public domain.

Best Practices

A panhandler slinks up and asks "Buddy, I haven't eaten all day, can you give me $50."

The man says, "I think you would be a lot more successful if you asked for $1."

The bum answers, "Look, give me a dollar or give me $50, but don't tell me how to run my business."

A cute twist on this rewritten by Lindsay Dandeneau

Some people are born entrepreneurs:

Buddy slinks up and asks, "Grandpa, I've been a good boy, will you give me $50?"

Grandpa says, "I think you would be a lot more successful if you asked for $1."

Buddy answers, "Look, Grandpa, give me a dollar or give me $50, but don't tell me how to run my business."
