The mindset of an entrepreneur was very interesting to read about. My favorite point made in the reading was as follows: "Those who build companies for the primary purpose of attracting ivestment dollars at high premiums are opportunists, not entrepreneurs." These days I find it very difficult to meet a person with that kind of mindset! I agree with the reading with the concept of "concentrating on long-term value can create wealth; concentrating on wealth typically creates neither value nor wealth." Too many businesses these days focus way too much on the generation of wealth for personal gain or the gain of the stock holders. I believe that this destroys the business.
There are many challenges that an entrepreneur may face and that sounds very fun to me. Though being an entrepreneur is something to aspire to I hesitate due to the lack of uncertainties that lay ahead of one. With the weight of student loans bearing upon so many people's shoulders (And mine) how much can one really gamble? Is there a problem with a 8am-5pm?
