The recent popularity of entrepreneurship set me thinking. The typical answer includes words such as control, flexibility, lack of hierarchy, more money and the likes.
Entrepreneurs are responsible for their business from start to finish.
They are often the secretaries, janitors, administrators, CEOs and every position in between. They have to think about replacing light bulbs and creating strategies, answering phone calls and marketing ideas. After all, every day that he takes off, he is hurting his own bottom-line. True there is no hierarchy, but there doesn t need to be, the client is so omnipresent in his life that one client s needs could replace five levels of organizational headaches. After all, they have secretaries, magical ways to make sure that the men s rooms are clean and mail room administrators who ensure that you overnight package is one your desk before you are and the sales team that has to worry about bringing in the business.
