Ideas before their time

For many entrepreneurs who are visionaries, some of their ideas have been viewed as verging on heresy and madness. Entrepreneurs being who they are question the status quo, sometimes to the detriment of perceptions of even their sanity.

In a Huffington Post article Susan Wilson Solovic writes of her former husband Rich Pisani, an entrepreneur who ran for public office in the early 90s on the sole platform of bringing high-speed rail to Missouri. That idea at the time was seen as verging on radical.

Solovic writes that nearly two decades later, Barack Obama proclaimed the need for high-speed rail; an idea that has not caused the uproar it did for Pisani.  She concludes that “timing is important for every entrepreneur, but sometimes it's simply a matter of waiting for your day to come”.
