Entrepreneurship

I really enjoyed this reading, because it was short and to the point. Reggie Aggarwal and Mark Esposito start off the article by explaining to the reader the benefits of becoming an entrepreneur, but sullenly follows it up with the frustration and sorrow that it brings. The authors explain that many entrepreneurs have failed one point or another, and that made me think about our guest speakers and how some of them may come in devastated with how their business is running. Technology entrepreneurs have three primary objectives which are:

1. To be on the cutting edge
2. Build long-term value
3. and have freedom.

Becoming an entrepreneur is definitely a risky choice for a career, but having the freedom to be your own boss.. and to employ your own workers. That is a good way to live. The authors say that if big personal cash payouts is your motivating factor, then you're going into the wrong career.
