Everyone wants to not work for someone else and be the decision maker and lead a team. Entrepreneurship starts with being a builder.

I had to start my own company because I couldn't get a job doing what I wanted to do. I kept being told that I didn't have the degree I needed. There are no degree requirements for CEO.

Eh… most of the people I know are much happier not dealing with the overhead of running a business.

We work 9-5 so we can have money to live.

Speak for yourself; can't think of anything worse, myself. Very happy to let others take care of that sort of thing.

I think there's some kind of echo chamber or distortion field among entrepreneurs, which makes them believe everyone's goal in life is entrepreneurship, "being your own boss" and some nebulous idea of "success".

It's really not. I'd much rather minimize the amount of stress and working hours in my life, thank you very much.

I think many are just delusional.

For me, the risk/reward of 9-5 is so much better than going into business for myself that it isn't even close.

The utility of a 10x-100x increase in the payoff over 9-5 is just not worth the sure bet of 9-5 for me.

This is even more true when so many want to be in business for themselves.

I don't.

Woohoo.
