In The Trenches

Should You Become an Entrepreneur?


Listen Later

Today's episode is aimed towards those who may be wrestling with the question of whether or not to finally pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. I walk you through how I made this decision myself in 2012, and also attempt to compliment those considerations with some of the lessons and reflections that I’ve garnered in the 10 years since then, which of course benefit from the clarity that only seems to come with hindsight. 
Whether or not to take the entrepreneurial plunge is a deeply personal question, and as a result no objectively correct answer exists to address it. What I argue in this episode however is that the answer itself will only be as good as the introspection, thought processes, and clarity of insights that led to it in the first place.
Entrepreneurship is generally much less risky than most might think, though it is also significantly less glamorous than its depiction in most forms of media today. Though most people understandably focus on the risk of walking the entrepreneurial path, it’s equally important to acknowledge of risks of not doing so.
