Ive been an entrepreneur of some type most of my life going back to when I had my own lawn mowing business in junior high. They say an entrepreneur is a person who has possession over a company, enterprise, or venture, and assumes significant accountability for the inherent risks and the outcome. This is true. I have also heard that most people will choose unhappiness over uncertainty, so most never even try something with even a little bit of risk. They are trading their freedom supposedly for security. Now many people including most of you, are finding that the old promise of getting a good education, a good job with a good company, and saving for retirement will make you successful and wealthy, just isnt true anymore. As we are finding out, there are no businesses too large to fail and the average number of companies someone has to work for now number around seven or eight during their lifetime working career. To me freedom is the ability to do what you want when you want to do it. This is really hard when your stuck at a job for for over 2000 hours a year.
