Who wants to be an entrepreneur?

Well, the answer is too simple. Almost everybody.
The key word is 'wants'. Almost everybody 'wants' to be an entrepreneur, whether they go ahead to become one or not is something different. There is something in all of us that will make us nod in agreement that we want to start something of our own and damn the whole of gang of managers that are hell-bent on not allowing us to be one. And the other question with a similar answer is, who hates his/her manager? Well,...
Once you are on the field, all the steam condenses.
Management is not something which is that easy once you are in the chair. Almost everybody in the beginning of their careers will be ready to join the band wagon of 'manager sucks'-shouters. But once you are put in charge of 'everything', you will know the taste. Saying that your manager is really a sick person shows your immaturity in oneself - and also in seeing the picture outside from a smaller hole in the wall. People who become good entrepreneurs are folks who know the in-and-out of handling people.
Entrepreneurship shows a good amount of maturity in handling judgments in life. (You can read more about characteristics of a good entrepreneur in my other post). What you learn in one year of being on your own is more than what you get in about half a decade of the conventional management. As a manager for some company, you still work for someone else, and you don't really lose everything when you do a mistake. But a an entrepreneur, you can lose everything just because of one wrong decision.

Everybody wants, but how many dare, to be an entrepreneur?
