I'm not an entrepreneur yet but I'd like to comment on this. I've always wanted to manage my own business since I was a kid. I find it really fulfilling to have something to call your own, and to see it grow due to your efforts. When I got to college, I took several courses on entrepreneurship and even tried to start my own business with a couple of friends. That didn't work out well for us, unfortunately, but that experience hasn't stopped me from wanting to further pursue my plan of having my own business. Right now I'm still in the process of raising enough capital, so wish me luck!
My 9-5 job bored me. I couldn't do the work I wanted and spent most of my time trying to look busy rather then being busy as what I was allowed to do was restricted by my managers. Eventually I got fed up of all the backstabbing of the upper ranks and the lies that was being passed down and decided I no longer wanted to be part of that.
I've never been afraid of hard work either and I've always liked the idea of working for myself. While I've had the usual day jobs in the past as I'm sure most of us have, it quickly dawned on me that it doesn't matter how good, or how hard you work when employed by somebody else, most of the time your hard work goes un-rewarded.
