Are you an entrepreneur?

Could it be that 'fear' would appear to be the principle reason holding back many from becoming self-employed, bosses & entrepreneurs… (are they all one and the same?)

However, this 'fear' may stem from a variety of differing factors.

The very real fears of failure, rejection, monetary loss, familial limitations, job satisfaction, reliability, lethargy, comfort & safety nets, lack of chutzpah, the inability to plan or see ahead and inexperience…

Perhaps I may mention that the vast majority of the entrepreneurs I know who work independently & own/started/took over their businesses & are solely answerable to themselves, rarely regret their choice of action.

Sure, tough times and disappointments arrive, there are troughs of highs and lows, periods of healthy liquidity & otherwise but ultimately the satisfactions in creating your own niche, forging a career & generating growth, success and financial stability is truly energising…

SO, are you ‘entrepreneur’ material…?
