Entrepreneurship – a Mission with burning desire
![Page 4: Days of-my-years](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032514/55d54762bb61ebb6698b4657/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Entrepreneurship- Rational Fears
• I want safety, I’m risk averse– Uncertainty about next paycheck– What safety does corporate life provide?– What are the essential traits needed in the personality?
• How do I get the magic idea – When do I stop theorizing and get on with the implementation
• What will my parents say, how do I go against what people generally do– If many are doing it, then surely it is more difficult to get profits,
and go to the top.• Can I develop the heart for entrepreneurship, how long should I try,
what are the exit options– How do I jump of the cliff
