Well the results are in from our poll last week on why young entrepreneurs decide to go into business for themselves.

The most popular answer, with over 82% of the votes was “To see your dream come true.”

Tied for second with almost 53% of the votes were “To be your own boss” and “To do what interests you.”

Rounding out the top five were “To make more money” with 47% of the votes and “To be creative” with 29% of the votes.

The least popular answers were “To set your own deadlines” (17%), “It’s easy to startup” (17%), “To learn new skills” (11%), “To have a second career” (5%), and “To cut the commute” (5%).

The YE Blog Poll will be a regular series in the coming months to explore how young entrepreneurs feel on a variety of topics.
