1. Reasons Why People
Become Entrepreneurs

2. What are the driving forces
behind entrepreneurship?
Three Factors Come to
Mind:
•Money
•Success
•Independence

3. Money
•Innovation breeds financial
success, or so we’re fit to believe.
Well documented success stories
from multi-billion dollar companies
such as Apple and Facebook
seemed to have created a
correlation between
entrepreneurship and big money.
•In reality, entrepreneurs on
average make less money than
those who choose employment
through another company.

4. Success
 The ability to provide society
with a useful product or idea is
another large draw that brings
people to entrepreneurship.
 Success is more exciting when
it comes straight from your own
mind.
 Steve Jobs, creator of Apple
Computers and the MacBook
Air(pictured right) was an
entrepreneur who changed the
world with his visions.

5. Independence
•Independence still acts as the
#1 draw to entrepreneurship.
•To entrepreneurs, there is no
substitute for being your own
boss.
•The importance to an
entrepreneur is option to live
life through their own visions
and paths.
