Question about working for others versus entrepreneurship?

Category: Other

DavidDavid


Hello, When I was younger (and less mature), I only wanted to be an entrepreneur. However, I have begun working for quite some time for a female friend who I greatly admire as an entrepreneur. I enjoy being given direction by a truly inspiring leader who knows how to take charge and set events into motion. I thrive at engaging in research to see alternative possibilities, dealing with various professionals, and executing on behalf of her. She makes great decisions regarding short and long term plans, gives constructive criticism, and can be compassionate yet assertive. I love working for her so much, that I hope to be her employee for the very long term. Some of my friends who are overly obsessed with entrepreneurship ( Robert Kiyosaki Types) or macho laugh at me for preferring working for a great woman entrepreneur, rather than having my own business. So, just wondering guys if you could choose would you rather be an entrepreneur or be a top employee to a great woman entrepreneur?

Dude, everyone is different, if your friends really make fun of you, they are not really your friends (if they only tease you, then they are just normal dudes being annoying)

Think of it this way...

What´s the worst thing that could happen with this lady?

That you learn a lot from her leadership and business skills? who wouldn´t take a job like that?

later on, if you really like the job, you can stay, BUT if your inner entrepreneur feels empowered by all the learning and coaching from the lady boss, you can take off on your own, and she could be your mentor (just be honest in advance about leaving, dont burn bridges), a job like this can be a great learning opportunity, all this is my opinion,

the important question, is: what do you REALLY REALLY want? and how bad do you want it?

if you wanna read some good books on business and leadership and stuff, this site I found has a bunch of reading lists, they are good: http://www.recommendedbookstoread.com/

dont try to please your friends, be honest with YOURSELF
