Entrepreneurship

 In the future I see myself finding an even mix between entrepreneurship and being a businessperson. While many aspects of entrepreneurship fascinate me, building your own business is not the only way for someone to be satisfied in their chosen career. The entrepreneur side of me rests more on my ability to think "outside the box" than to necessarily start a business from the ground up. While I would love to be my own boss in a sense, it also comes with a risk to reward ratio that can easily be teetered one direction or the other. Some people get an idea that they think can be turned into a guaranteed profitable business, but often investing all of your time and money into that idea can cause you to lose everything.

However, because being an entrepreneur is not all about starting your own business a lot of us are entrepreneurs in one fashion or another. The entrepreneurial side of me is my creative side and the drive to always need to have creative input wherever or with whoever I work for in the future. I lack the type of personality to just follow orders and keep my thoughts to myself all the time. There are times when I can think on my toes like an entrepreneur and times when I may think on my heels, taking the safe bet.

I believe that even the strictly business minded people as well as the wildly entrepreneurial types can each achieve happiness in life. Its not necessarily what your doing, but if you enjoy doing it. Some folks cannot handle the stress and responsibility of flying by the seat of their pants in a sense and need to be more grounded. A person can be perfectly content having the security of a job where they are needed for the foreseeable future without the risk of possibly being out on their but the next minute. I fall in the middle, I seek the excitement of trying new ideas yet can stay reserved in many aspects, carefully planning each move while exploring the different consequences.
