I agree. I also think discussions like this article assume that running a company is unique from other similar choices.

Is trying to become a singer/actor becoming an entrepreneur? Its fairly similar in terms of entering a winner-take-all field where you'll face a lot of adversity at the beginning.

Is switching careers to something your eduction is not in the same type of decision that an entrepreneur makes? Even if you are just switching to another 9-5?

Is someone who leaves a salary job to one that is paid mostly in sales commission an entrepreneur? Even if you are working for a company?

I don't think any of these situations are identical - but if you are trying to figure out "is this cultural or genetic" it seems worthy to think of your definition. After all, being a tech CEO is not something everyone wants to do.
