I wanted to know, what has made you guys chose to become an entrepreneur.

What is the reason you have chosen to be your own boss and create your own

path of success, whether MlM. network marketing, opening up a clothing line, a

restaurant, etc? I would like to know what has made you take the road, less

traveled by.

Thanks in advance.

Simple. I hated working for someone else, I want to be the boss.

Why work for $8.00 an hour when the boss is making $500 a day and getting paid while not even being at work?

Some places you have to use up your vacation time which is usually limited to a max of 5 days at a time with no pay. The boss can take a 2 week vacation if he feels like it.

Plus I have nobody to answer to. Nobody higher then me. That is what caused me to be an entrepreneur.

The possibilities are immense, just the idea of building something and nurturing it gets me excited. Being an entrepreneur means you get to experience a different challenge everyday and you have to keep proving to yourself that you have what it takes.

The stuff you have to go through to get hired, and then play office politics, puts a disabled man like me at a disadvantage. 80% of us autistics are unemployed, and the rest work menial jobs from which we are frequently fired.

Also:

Wage of average Ford assembly plant grunt in the 1920s: $5 a day

Average wage of Henry Ford: $25,000 a day

nuff said.

I don't understand, so if you were given the opportunity to work a 9 to 5 for double what you currently make, you would take it b/c of the money?
Im just looking forward and currently enjoy being able to wake up at 11 every day, and having the freedom to do whatever I want

for me, it is just for experience & learn how to earn some income with your creativity..

it is not necessary to make it your full time job...

like opening a clothing line, you just need a web, a blackberry, a laptop & don't need to give up your full time job

It's in the family blood.

My personality type attracts me to entrepreneurship. It's also a great learning experience and there is more freedom given to your life.

I've always been around business owners, whether it be my relatives or just friends I've met along the way. They always seemed to be so intelligent and practical, yet daring and bold. That's the kind of person I want to be and this seems like the perfect industry to help me fulfill it.
