What do you gane from being an entrepreneur?

Answer 1

What you gain from being an entrepreneur is the ability to make decisions based on what you think will be the market's reaction to your actions. For an entrepreneur it is the marketplace that decides if your idea or business is worthy of survival, not a person or committee with a corporation. As an entrepreneur it is not a corporation that decides when you have to leave the payroll, it is the market or economy, your health or some other factor. You substitute the relative short term safety of corporate financial resources with your and/or your investor's financial resources. You risk your financial stake in the business and will very likely work many more hours than your corporate counterpart, but you will do it in way that makes sense to you. It is a matter of risk versus relative safety, freedom to make choices (good or bad) and having the market judge your actions versus being judged (objectively or subjectively) on how well you complied to corporate edicts.
