Why Launch a Start-up? 1. It's more profitable in the long-run, even with the risks 2. It's as safe as the Fortune 1000 - no unexpected layoffs 3. It's fun and you'll never wonder "what if" at the end of the day while you are sitting on the porch of the nursing home wishing your kids would visit you 4. You're the boss (or closer to the true boss - the market) 5. Your resume will be much stronger, even if the venture doesn't make it 6. You can always find another job, eventually 7. Most successful entrepreneurs have "failure-stepping-stones" to success, as "hitting one over the fence" is usually a numbers game. It takes several good tries frequently before one 'hits" - so, you need to start swinging now - Carter Allen |
