is a romantic notion; but being your own boss isn’t just about
freedom. Nor is it about the status that comes your way when you
innovate the product or service that no one knew; until now; they
simply could not live without. And it’s not even about the amazing
income you’ll be getting when your start-up hits the big time.
Entrepreneurship is none of these things. It’s about plain hard
work which often garners little – if any – reward. It’s about keeping
going even when you feel you have no more to give and remaining
