Are entrepreneurs downright stupid or perhaps stupid passionate? Stupid passionate is being so passionate about bringing their idea or product that the obstacles that seem insurmountable to any other rationale person are merely a speed bump to the stupefied entrepreneur.  Stupid passion gives that numbness and drive to get past the obstacle.

Stupid passion is a desire to “gitter done” that is virtually blind to anything that gets in the way of the goal. Where would the world be if Wilber and Orville Wright had listened to their contemporaries? What if someone had said to John F. Kennedy it is impossible to send a man to the moon? That dogged determination that characterizes stupid passion is the key.

Entrepreneurs that exhibit stupid passion are the ones that facilitate real change and revolutionary new developments. Stupid passionate entrepreneurs have no common sense and they tend to be unreasonable. Stupid passionate entrepreneurs are also the ones that change the world.
