Abstract

Entrepreneurship is no lifestyle-business. There are tremendous rewards such as changing the world and creating wealth, but there is a price. Nevertheless, entrepreneurship should not be considered to be a sacrifice. It would rather be a sacrifice for me to waste my time in a big corporation. (Michael Allen, Vice PresidentNet))

The best thing is not knowing how hard it really is because you can’t rationally deal with that much fear. (Bill Giudice, Maker Comunications)
