All in all, any successful entrepreneur works many more hours than an employee. But, when it is YOUR company that you are working for, it does not feel like work at all! It is the most enjoyable and profitable way to make your own mark in the world.
The risks are generally greater for an entrepreneur than they are for an employee. However, this is not necessarily true in today's economy, as even major corporations are showing their vulnerability. No longer is there security in an employer/employee relationship.
If you are looking at becoming an entrepreneur, you are in the right place at the right time. Never has the time been more ripe for entrepreneurs to arise and develop themselves. You have the power of the internet at your fingertips, and there are so many exciting opportunities.
Entrepreneurship is exciting! To quote Zig Ziglar, "If you give others everything that they want, you will receive everything that you want." It is so fulfilling to watch others light up in their success because you have equipped them with the tools they need.
