The interesting part of this from my perspective is "my dad - a lifelong entrepreneur."
I recently saw that pud is a year younger than me, and we entered the job market at almost the same time with similar skill sets. Why did it take me so goddamn long to pull my head out of my ass and finally start my own company (at 35)?
Perhaps pud's acceptance of risk has a genetic component, or at the very least he was brought up in an environment where he learned to adjust to uncertainty.
He credits laziness - but we all know that lazy + smart = effective. I wonder if that's part of entrepreneurial DNA as well...
- gyardley 15y agoWe don't necessarily need to turn to genetics to explain this. When one of your parents is an entrepreneur, being an entrepreneur yourself is a natural and obvious option -- but when no one in your family has ever started a business, it's anything but. When I was younger, I simply didn't think 'hey, I could start a business' when thinking of things I could do with myself. I wouldn't be so hard on yourself. We're all products of our environment.
