The abstract doesn't talk about this, but one school of thought suggests that entrepreneurs aren't necessarily risk-takers, they are just overly optimistic. I think that is true. If you're overly optimistic or over-confident, you're more likely to do things that others consider as risky (because they don't seem risky to you)
