I don't think I'm cut out for it. Not a huge risk taker, I prefer stability and a good life balance. I think I'd go crazy bringing work home with me every night and also not really crazy about learning the ins and outs of business. A lot of that stuff is boring paperwork and accounting. No thanks! This is more or less the reason why I've thought about it, but have never actually gone and done it. I'm not terribly interested in learning about business and paperwork and accounting... definitely not for me! The fact that I know next to nothing about running my own business and the amount of money it costs to start one is also daunting.

I have been an entrepreneur for most of my life, except for transitional periods like leaving University, and migrating to a new country. I come from a long line of entrepreneurs (at least 800 years on my father's side), so it is my default position. My businesses have always been small. Pluses have included being responsible for your own decisions and not answering to a chain of command. Minuses have been less security, and possibly less income than what I could have earned in the labour market with my qualifications. Skills in motivating people are paramount - motivating staff, customers and yourself.
