2. Do
you
think
like
an
entrepreneur?
Would
the
lifestyle
and
the
mindset
of
an
entrepreneur
serve
as
the
right
path
for
you?
Are
you
meant
for
entrepreneurship
and
perhaps
not
even
aware
of
it?
I
admit
being
an
entrepreneur
is
not
the
right
course
for
everyone.
In
fact,
being
an
entrepreneur
may
not
be
the
right
choice
for
you
at
one
phase
of
your
life
but
the
ideal
choice
at
another
phase.
Because
not
only
are
people
vastly
different
and
thus
view
their
work
life
differently,
you
as
an
individual
change
and
evolve
over
the
course
of
your
career
years.
Yet,
how
many
people
go
through
an
exercise
of
finding
out
for
certain
whether
it
is
the
right
course
for
them?
I
know
that
I
fell
into
it
somewhere
at
the
edge
of
my
patience
with
my
corporate
career,
in
the
depth
of
my
self-­‐discovery
and
at
the
height
of
my
misery.
Funny
how
bad
things
lead
to
good
stuff
in
life,
right?
Now
let’s
find
out
if
entrepreneurship
is
right
for,
now
or
someday
in
your
brilliant
future.
Shall
we?
From
Corporate
to
Entrepreneurship
During
the
time
that
I
was
a
devoted
corporate
employee,
I
could
never
see
myself
as
a
thriving
entrepreneur.
The
prospect
did
not
interest
me
at
all.
The
early
years
of
my
corporate
life
plus
my
18-­‐month
experience
with
a
start-­‐up
were
all
about
rising
on
the
corporate
ladder
and
the
idea
of
not
working
for
a
large
Fortune
500
company
and
belonging
to
a
large
entity
scared
me
to
pieces.
It
was
not
until
the
latter
years
where
I
began
to
feel
this
yearning
for
meaningful
work.
I
had
so
much
accumulated
unhappiness
and
misery
in
the
corporate
environment
that
I
woke
up
one
day
only
to
realize
that
I
was
an
absolute
misfit
for
the
corporate
life
in
every
sense
of
the
word.
Whatever
it
is
I
was
meant
to
do
was
not
to
be
found
in
the
corporate
landscape.
And
no
one
is
more
shocked
about
this
discovery
than
yours
truly,
trust
me.

3.
Suddenly,
almost
overnight,
my
entire
perspective
changed.
Years
of
stigma
broke
down
as
quickly
as
a
deck
of
cards
on
loose
footing.
The
idea
of
creating
and
building
a
business
with
my
own
two
hands
from
scratch
appealed
to
me
like
a
newly
discovered
taste
that
had
been
missing
from
the
nourishment
of
my
soul.
Entrepreneurship
fit
me
like
a
new
skin,
a
better
one
than
any
I
had
known.
It
embraced
me
in
all
its
elements,
from
the
grueling
hours
to
in
the
incredible
liberation,
from
the
discipline
and
difficulties
of
doing
things
on
my
own
to
the
delight
of
earning
money
precisely
the
way
I
chose
to
do.
I
loved
this
brave
new
world,
despite
all
the
gloom
and
doom
the
world
will
have
you
believe
about
the
general
state
of
economy.
My
daily
experience
continues
to
affirm
my
foresight
every
single
day
and
I
know
that
I
have
finally
arrived
home
in
my
work
life.
I
was
meant
to
work
for
myself
through
and
through.
What
about
you?
How
would
entrepreneurship
fit
your
beliefs
and
your
lifestyle?
Work
was
meant
to
be
so
much
more
than
it
is
today.
Cultures
and
lifestyles
have
slowly
diminished
the
idea
of
work
to
a
singular
means
of
a
survival,
a
meaningless
miserable
rat
race
in
which
we
are
lucky
to
partake
if
we
have
a
“job
in
this
economy.”
But
work
is
not
just
something
you
do
to
earn
a
paycheck.
Work
can
define
your
contributions
to
the
world.
Work
can
be
your
legacy
if
you
put
your
gifts
and
talents
into
it.
Work
can
be
a
direct
expression
of
your
passions
and
that
is
for
more
than
just
the
artist,
the
painter
or
the
musician.
It
is
for
anyone!
Work
can
be
meaningful
and
profitable
if
you
choose
to
believe
so.
My
paradigm
shift
started
precisely
when
I
chose
to
believe
so.
When
will
you
allow
yours
to
start?
The
first
and
most
important
thing
is
to
truly
understand
the
meaning
of
work
and
the
mindset
of
an
entrepreneur.
The
next
thing
is
to
decide
whether
you
share
in
the
ideals,
the
perspectives,
and
the
general
approach
to
work
and
to
life.

4.
This
can
be
slightly
ironic.
You
see,
entrepreneurship
is
an
expression
of
a
creative
and
expressive
mind
that
uses
its
ideas
–
from
mediocre
to
dumb,
anywhere
in
the
scale
-­‐
to
build
a
business
or
an
enterprise.
So
what
you
need
to
embrace
in
order
to
thrive
as
an
entrepreneur
is
that
freedom.
It
is
ironic
because
freedom
means
you
can
do
as
you
please
and
who
among
us
doesn’t
want
to
embrace
freedom?
Well,
that
is
exactly
where
our
resistance
comes
in
when
it
comes
to
our
work
in
this
life.
We
resist
doing
that
to
which
we
are
called.
We
ignore
the
inner
voice
and
give
it
a
stern
talking-­‐to.
We
wall
ourselves
into
a
corner
with
massive
excuses
and
grand
reasons
why
we
cannot
do
what
we
love.
Until
one
day,
we
wake
up
and
suddenly
find
ourselves
empty
and
yearning
still
to,
you
guessed
it,
do
something
we
love.
We
don’t
care
anymore
if
it
makes
money
or
if
it
can
be
profitable
or
any
of
that.
We
simply
want
some
happiness
that
we
know
we
can
get
from
doing
something
we
love.
That
point,
darling,
can
be
a
bit
too
late
in
game
for
careful
planning
and
smart
execution
if
you
are
not
careful.
Do
not
wait
until
your
patience
has
run
out
along
with
the
best
years
of
your
life.
Let
us
find
out
now
whether
you
are
meant
to
take
this
road
to
entrepreneurship,
come
what
may!
Even
if
you
have
never
wondered
how
you
would
fare
as
an
entrepreneur,
I
believe
that
knowing
more
about
the
empowering
idea
of
working
on
your
own
terms
is
worth
exploring.
If
for
nothing
else,
you
can
rule
it
out
as
a
possible
option
in
your
career
and
work
life
next
time
you
are
ready
for
a
change.
But
can
you
really
know
your
true
reaction
to
working
for
yourself
before
actually
do
it?
Well,
you
won’t
know
for
a
fact,
but
you
can
come
pretty
close
to
a
highly
educated
guess.
That
is
where
this
51-­‐question
guide
comes
in.
It
can
help
you
get
into
the
mindset
of
an
entrepreneur
world.
You
need
to
decide
if
that
plays
to
your
strengths
and
ideals
about
work
and
career
and
not
to
your
weaknesses
and
that
is
what
we
are
going
to
find
out
together!

5. Definition
of
Entrepreneurship
You
can
never
be
too
careful
with
definitions.
It
is
not
unusual
for
the
same
word
in
our
language
to
mean
different
things
to
different
people.
We
tend
to
draw
our
meaning
for
words
from
our
unique
experience
and
exposure
to
them.
Sometimes,
the
standard
and
true
definition
even
gets
lost
along
the
way!
I
digress
a
bit
but
that
is
why
I
decided
that
it
would
be
wise
to
define
the
main
word
in
question:
Entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship:
the
act
of
someone
organizing
a
business
venture
and
assumes
the
risk
for
it.
~Google’s
first
search
result
Entrepreneurship
is
the
act
of
being
an
entrepreneur,
which
can
be
defined
as
one
who
undertakes
innovations,
finance
and
business
acumen
in
an
effort
to
transform
innovations
into
economic
goods.
~Wikipedia
Those
are
good,
albeit
dry,
definitions.
Now
let
me
share
with
you
my
definition.
Entrepreneurship
is
much
like
having
children.
First
of
all,
it
is
not
for
everyone.
It
is
either
the
right
or
wrong
step
for
you
and
yet,
it
is
immensely
difficult
to
admit
the
latter
to
yourself
or
to
anyone
in
your
world
once
you’ve
taken
the
plunge
in
either
category.
I
mean,
you
don’t
just
admit
children
are
not
right
for
you.
You
would
make
yourself
come
up
with
elaborate
explanations
as
to
why
it
is
a
challenge
but
still
a
blessing
or
something
like
that.
And
if
it
is
right
for
you,
if
it
is
what
you
are
meant
to
do,
well
then,
you
have
the
incredible
experience
of
once-­‐in-­‐a-­‐lifetime
opportunity
of
being
a
parent.
And
the
same
goes
for
entrepreneurship.
You
see,
much
like
having
children,
you
fall
in
love
instantly,
completely
and
irreversibly
with
working
for
yourself
and
creating
your
own
business.

6. but
an
instant
to
overwhelm
you
when
entrepreneurship
is
the
right
thing
for
you.
But
with
children,
you
may
argue,
there
is
the
physical
and
biological
bond.
Well,
not
always.
Take
a
look
at
adopted
children;
their
parents
love
them
instantly,
deeply
and
truly
despite
the
lack
of
those
bonds.
And
so
will
you
love
your
business,
your
company,
and
your
enterprise
or
for
all
intents
and
purposes:
your
baby!
Just
like
with
children,
entrepreneurship
marks
a
point
of
no
return
in
your
life.
There
is
no
return
policy
on
those
little
darlings
once
they
arrive
and
similarly,
there
is
no
going
back
to
working
for
someone
else
once
you
have
broken
the
ties.
I
mean,
well,
of
course
you
could
technically
get
a
job
at
another
place;
however
if
you
were
made
for
entrepreneurship
like
me,
the
mere
thought
of
returning
to
the
workplace
would
not
be
without
excruciating
pain,
heavy
sacrifices
and
heaps
of
inner
conflict.
It
will
end
your
fulfillment
and
freedom
as
you
have
come
to
know
and
love
it.
Once
the
bird
is
set
free,
it
can
never
go
back
to
even
a
golden
cage,
whatever
the
extravagance
and
opulence
may
be.
Furthermore,
entrepreneurship
is
hard,
hard
work,
most
of
which
goes
very
unnoticed
in
the
eyes
of
the
world.
It
can
cost
a
fortune
to
grow
and
it
can
cause
you
heartbreak
and
disappointment
despite
your
best
efforts.
Being
an
entrepreneur
can
and
does
keep
you
up
at
night
and
yet
you
smile
at
the
whole
world
in
the
morning
every
time.
It
fills
you
with
a
sense
of
irrational
pride
and
extreme
accomplishment,
and
few
who
are
outside
the
realm
of
it
can
relate
to
you
and
your
world
anymore
–
sorry,
just
one
of
the
facts
-­‐
but
the
good
news
is
that
you
start
to
care
very
little
about
that.
You
know
you
are
doing
something
special
and
worthwhile,
just
as
you
do
with
being
a
parent.
You
have
inner
peace
and
that
is
the
greatest
gift
any
work
can
bring
you.
Yet,
it
can
be
frustrating
and
thankless,
brutal
and
challenging,
and
the
return
on
the
investment
may
not
show
up
for
a
while.
Or
ever.
Still,
you
put
your
heart
and
soul
into
it
and
do
not
question
your
choice
for
a
second.

Tell
me,
which
part
of
that
is
not
similar
to
the
experience
of
having
children?
51
Questions
to
Test
If
You
Think
As
An
Entrepreneur
Please
read
these
questions
slowly
and
aloud.
Let
yourself
digest
them
for
a
few
minutes.
Imagine
the
scenarios
and
the
circumstances.
Picture
how
you
would
feel
and
react
to
each.
Then
reply
with
your
answer.
Remember
what
is
important
to
you
and
what
values
you
hold
near
and
dear
to
yourself
and
ask
yourself
whether
the
question
weakens
or
strengthens
that
position.
These
questions
are
in
the
format
of
True/False
where
True
is
a
plus
mark
for
Entrepreneurship
and
False
is
a
minus
mark
for
it.
Also,
a
minus
on
the
entrepreneur
side
does
not
necessarily
translate
to
a
plus
for
a
corporate
job.
Print
the
test
and
mark
your
answers
carefully.
Take
your
time
and
if
you
are
not
sure
how
to
answer
a
particular
question,
just
come
back
to
it.
Last
but
not
least,
be
honest
with
yourself,
go
with
your
first
instinct
as
it’s
usually
the
right
one
and
the
rest
will
take
care
of
itself.
Good
luck!

an
easy
boring
job
with
the

not

to
be
told
what
to

Starting
over
and
failing
often
do
not

and
you
won't

your

You
will
keep
trying
as
you
set
yourself
up
for

being

way
to
find
out
your
true
potential.
23.
The
idea
of
building
a
business
to
call
your
own
gnaws
at
you
daily
and
you
need
to
feed
this
hunger
someday.
Now
would
be
a
good
time
too.
24.
You
find
it
extremely
difficult
to
work
for
a
place
where
your
core
values
do
not
align
to
the
company
mission
and
behavior.
25.
Every
hour
of
the
day
matters
to
you,
and
you
do
actually
mind
a
great
deal
if
your
time
is
wasted
on
mundane
rubbish.
26.
No
matter
how
much
you
advance
and
make
in
pay
at
a
corporation,
you
remain
unfulfilled
because
you
can't
get
passionate
about
it.
27.
You
feel
a
sense
of
urgency
and
do
not
want
to
wait
around
for
that
perfect
“someday”
before
you
pursue
your
dreams.

You
will
be
unstoppable
until
you
find
your
passions
into
profit
and
you
believe
that
it
is
possible
to
do
that
today
more
than
ever
before.
29.
You
draw
inspiration
and
motivation
from
the
idea
of
making
a
difference
and
building
a
business.
30.
You
do
not
believe
that
you
should
be
tied
to
your
particular
field
of
study
or
education
if
your
new
passions
point
elsewhere
today.
31.
Creating
your
own
schedule
and
making
your
own
decisions
empowers
you.
32.
You
cannot
stand
working
with
mediocre
minds.
It
weighs
you
down
and
makes
you
tired
and
grumpy
and
that’s
not
you.
33.
Having
a
job
to
pay
the
bills
has
never
and
will
never
be
enough.
You
want
to
make
a
difference
in
the
world
and
until
you
do,
you
will
not
be
fulfilled.
34.
You
enjoy
the
discovery
process
and
are
open
to
new
ideas
and
thinking
outside
of
the
box
or
crushing
the
box
altogether.
35.
You
know
that
you
won't
regret
leaving
the
corporate
world
but
even
more
importantly,
you
know
that
you
will
regret
it
if
you
stay.
36.
You
yearn
to
create
your
own
products
and
services
and
offerings
for
the
world
because
you
fiercely
believe
in
their
value.
37.
You
believe
that
there
has
never,
ever,
been
a
better
time
to
pursue
entrepreneurship
with
the
technology
and
tools
at
our
disposal
today.
38.
You
don’t
really
care
what
the
economy
or
the
government
is
doing.
You
know
that
your
future
is
in
your
own
hands.
39.
You
believe
you
make
your
own
luck
and
that
no
one
owes
you
anything
but
you
owe
it
to
yourself
to
fulfill
your
potential.
40.
You
realize
that
some
of
your
colleagues
or
corporate
peeps
or
even
friends
may
not
relate
or
support
you
if
you
pursue
this
path
and
you
are
at
peace
with
that.

You
would
rather
bust
your
chops
day
and
night
to
find
a
way
to
bring
in
large
streams
of
income
than
ever
again
beg
for
a
raise
or
have
to
prove
your
self-­‐worth
to
a
boss.
42.
You
are
wiling
to
make
lifestyle
changes,
social
life
changes
and
financial
changes
in
order
to
create
the
business
of
your
dreams.
43.
You
want
to
learn,
push
yourself
beyond
your
limits
and
educate
yourself
constantly
rather
than
do
a
job
at
which
you
excel
day
in
and
day
out.
44.
You
embrace
the
essence
of
a
capitalist
market
and
believe
that
the
only
way
to
massive
wealth
and
success
is
from
entrepreneurial
pursuits.
45.
You
don’t
want
to
have
another
dreaded
Monday
in
your
life
and
you
are
tired
of
living
just
for
the
weekend.
46.
You
believe
that
with
the
world
being
so
small,
thanks
to
advancements
in
technology,
there
are
no
geographical
boundaries
to
the
reach
of
your
own
business.
47.
The
idea
of
never
again
asking
for
“time-­‐off”
or
a
“sick
day”
is
liberating
to
you.
48.
You
believe
that
working
for
yourself
is
an
exercise
in
self-­‐growth
and
self-­‐
improvement.
49.
You
love
the
idea
of
never
again
having
to
pretend
to
be
someone
else
to
fit
into
a
company
sub-­‐culture
not
suited
to
your
true
self.
50.
You
long
to
set
up
a
business
that
gives
you
complete
mobility
because
you
want
to
travel
and
work
from
anywhere
anytime.
51.
The
opinions
and
criticism
of
others
does
not
shake
the
pillars
of
your
self-­‐
confidence.
You
know
you
were
meant
for
greatness
and
you
realize
it
takes
fortitude
and
courage
to
go
against
the
tide.
You
are
at
complete
peace
with
that.
What
to
Make
of
Your
Answers:

12. Now
that
you
have
taken
the
questionnaire,
what
do
you
do
with
the
information
you
have
gained?
First,
I
want
you
to
answer
that
yourself.
How
did
it
feel
to
go
through
those
questions?
Did
you
come
to
any
realization
on
your
own
about
whether
the
pursuit
of
your
own
business
ideas
is
more
or
less
important
than
before?
Think
about
how
the
questions
made
you
feel
and
whether
you
could
see
yourself
as
an
entrepreneur
someday
in
your
own
glorious
future?
Remember
the
right
answer
is
the
one
in
your
heart.
No
one
can
tell
you
whether
working
for
yourself
is
right
or
wrong.
Only
you
know
the
right
path
for
you.
The
goal
of
these
questions
was
to
help
you
bring
that
to
the
surface,
rather
than
persuade
you
one
way
or
another.
We
each
come
to
express
our
greatness
in
our
own
way.
Remain
true
to
that.
Now,
I
do
have
a
quick
analysis
for
your
responses.
1.
If
you
answered
a
resounding
True
in
40
to
51
of
these
questions:
Then,
you
would
be
a
perfect
fit
for
the
world
of
entrepreneurship
and
self-­‐
employment.
Your
mind
works
like
an
entrepreneur
and
you
would
find
the
work
so
fulfilling
that
the
grueling
hours
would
not
bother
you.
They
will
fuel
and
energize
you
because
the
rewards
align
to
your
true
values.
In
short,
this
would
be
most
likely
a
path
that
would
be
fulfilling
and
give
you
a
channel
to
build
your
ideas
and
turn
your
passions
into
a
profit.
2.
If
you
answered
True
to
20-­‐39
of
these
questions:
Then,
you
have
an
interest
in
working
for
yourself
someday
even
if
it
is
just
a
healthy
curiosity.
You
can
appreciate
the
benefits
of
entrepreneurship
as
opposed
to
employment
at
a
traditional
job
and
you
may
even
be
ready
to
pursue
it
someday.
However,
there
are
probably
still
a
few
things
that
hold
you
back.
Some
of
it
may
be
related
to
your
personality
and
some
to
your
work
habits
–
you
have

13. to
a
certain
way
of
working
all
your
life
and
the
idea
of
this
radical
shift
gives
you
a
few
healthy
jitters.
You
are
still
on
the
fence
and
need
to
explore
and
research
whether
building
your
business
makes
sense
for
you.
If
you
are
not
emotionally
and
psychologically
committed
to
working
for
yourself,
your
business
will
suffer.
Mindset
is
everything
and
it
is
the
reason
the
average
person
can
excel
the
brilliant
person
in
business,
because
of
that
mindset
of
refusing
defeat
and
pushing
past
all
points
of
discomfort
and
initial
bouts
of
failure.
Until
you
can
embrace
this
mindset,
you
will
most
likely
be
entertaining
the
idea
of
entrepreneurship
in
your
mind.
Perhaps
someday,
it
will
be
the
right
thing
to
do.
Just
listen
to
yourself
and
keep
tabs
on
the
flow
of
those
great
ideas.
You
never
know
what
you
may
be
ready
to
do
someday!
3.
If
you
answered
True
to
1-­‐19
of
these
questions:
If
you
were
shaking
your
head
False
rather
than
True
most
of
the
time,
and
came
up
with
a
handful
of
occasions
where
you
could
relate
to
the
statements,
then
the
mindset
and
approach
of
an
entrepreneur
to
work
may
not
be
a
good
fit
for
you
at
this
time
until
you
do
some
due
diligence
and
explore
your
true
goals
in
business
and
in
life.
A
lot
of
these
questions
are
feelings
that
start
to
develop
after
working
for
someone
else
for
a
very
long
time.
Some
people
are
perfectly
happy
and
they
can
do
great
work
while
belonging
to
a
corporation,
an
organization
or
another
large
entity.
I
certainly
enjoyed
my
own
period
where
I
felt
that
I
could
belong
and
do
very
good
work.
If
you
feel
that
way
about
your
work,
then
working
for
yourself
will
likely
not
set
you
up
for
success
as
you
would
be
missing
many
benefits
that
employment
provides.
It
is
really
important
to
carefully
examine
what
you
want
to
get
out
of
your
work
life
even
if
self-­‐employment
does
not
bode
well
for
you.
This
is
an
exercise
in
self-­‐discovery.
What
is
it
that
you
love
to
do
and
how
can
you
do
that
and
still
make
a
profit
at
it?
Perhaps
working
in
the
right
company
or
organization
or
small
entity
will
be
the
answer
for
you.
Keep
asking
questions
until
you
can
arrive
at
the
right
answer
for
you.

14. My
greatest
hope
is
that
this
guide
brought
you
some
awareness
and
clarity.
Sometimes,
the
ultimate
answer
may
still
not
be
as
clear
as
we
would
like
it
to
be,
but
we
have
more
information,
we
have
learned
something
about
ourselves
and
that
is
going
to
bring
us
to
the
right
answer
sooner
than
later.
And
I
sincerely
hope
that
I
have
gently
stirred
your
mind
with
deep
questions
and
a
desire
to
search
for
the
right
answer.
The
greatest
thing
you
can
do
is
allowing
yourself
to
be
in
a
position
where
you
can
thrive
and
reach
your
fullest
potential,
whether
that
is
entrepreneurship
or
any
other
type
of
business
and
work.
I
want
to
wish
you
tremendous
success.
Remember
that
working
with
a
career
and
business
coach
can
help
you
make
tremendous
leaps
in
these
areas
by
removing
resistance
and
blockage
and
helping
you
to
think
clearly
about
all
the
options
before
you.
"Let
yourself
be
silently
drawn
by
the
stronger
pull
of
what
you
really
love."
