    After reading this I think that I would make a good Entrepreneur but I don't think that I would want to become one because in the last paragraph it says "losing in touch with friends". I can deal with the friends but when i comes to losing in touch with family, that's when I would not want to do it.

  2. Well, most of the aspects of being an entreprenuer would not work for me. The high stress load and amount of money to get it started would be too much. I know people who have started their own businesses and I do not envy them. The only thing about it that would appeal to me would be that I would be able to decide my own schedule and not have to listen to others like I would if I had a different job. Other than that I would hate being an entrepreneur.

  3. My personality type doesn't seem to fit the description. I'm not exactly what you call responsible, and I don't take many risks. Family is more important than money to me. If I were to lose my family in the process of being an entrepreneur it wouldn't be worth it. So unless I was guaranteed my success with entrepreneurship, I would rather mold clay and have a healthy family.

  4. This dose not sound a thing like me. As i started to read at first I thought it might be a possibility because of course your going to have a passion for what your going to do in your career. But the risks are way to high and I want a steady paying job and a guarantee paycheck. Another thing would be the numerous positions being played, it seems like you would be ripping your hair out going from position to position and it could also leave a lot of room for mistake. Ultimately I think this job is for the brave and people who are willing to take big risks

  5. I don’t think Entrepreneurship is good for me. There are a lot of responsibilities that you would have to be willing to take and at first it can be a lot risky, however sometimes big risks comes big things and if your successful you’ll be making a lot of money out of being an entrepreneurship but who knows. At the end I don’t think its worth it if your going to be losing touch with friends, abandoning old hobbies and interests and not even making time for your loved ones, so you really need to ask you’re self if that’s what you really want for you. In personal I would hate being an ntrepreneur there’s too much stress involved.
