They refuse to believe in any kind of box to begin with, which liberates them to think and act in ways never thought possible. Most are too stuck in a box to even consider the concept of no box. Perhaps you can challenge your readers with that notion. Enjoy. Most of the entraprenuers I have come across have commented that they do not seek new boxes or think outside the proverbial box.

And as anyone that's worked in a big enough company that produces a diagram like that, you'll know the box you live in doesn't always relate to the box on paper. Even 'thinking outside the box' is thinking in relation to the box. And regardless of what box you think you're in, other people might have you in another box! So knowing which box you place yourself in, and which box other people place you in is useful, but only as an initial orientation. Once you start working with others, it doesn't matter which box you are 'in'. Enjoy, This is true.
