I think it depends on the nature of the business, but above all the person's values. For example, I've been an independent web developer for a few years. I can choose how many projects I take on and how busy I am. I have more work coming in than I can handle, so I could hire an employee and build up the business but instead I turn it down. I could work 80 hours per week (lots of my independent colleagues do), but I choose to work 30-40 instead. I make a comfortable living and make plenty of time for my wife and family. It would seem that none of the "characteristics that apply to all entrepreneurs" apply to me. But I do have a business, so how is this possible?
