Episode Description
It’s not for everyone but many people will at some point ask themselves, shouldn’t I just be off working for myself? The feeling of self-sufficiency and charting one’s own course in life seems to be a draw for many people across the globe. Being an entrepreneur offers the opportunity to build a legacy organization and perhaps impact a great number of people. But is it truly for you? In this episode, we feature a long-time serial entrepreneur who shares his perspective on what he sees as four kinds of entrepreneurs, the basic business types one can entertain, and some key considerations about oneself to take into account in evaluating whether entrepreneurship is a viable track for you.
