Realistically, what makes most entrepreneurs entrepreneurial is a reliable safety net provided by personal money. It is easy(ier) to take risks when your health care, housing, food and the other basis of survival do not depend on guaranteed success.
- dnh44 9y agoFor what it's worth I kind of disagree based on personal experience. I'm quickly nearing the age of 40 and never had a real job. Being poor combined with the fear of failure has always been a great motivator for both productivity and creativity. A lack of responsibility does more to make it easier to take risks than does having money. It's pretty easy for a single healthy person to earn enough money to survive if it all goes wrong. It's a lot harder if that person has other people depending on them for survival. But surely if one has family to look after money is a requirement to take that kind of risk.
