Sure. Knowledge is actually relatively cheap. You are unlikely to be the most knowledgeable person in the given niche in which you want to operate, anyway. It is relatively easier to pay somebody who has the knowledge but not the appetite for risk, than to acquire that level of knowledge yourself. It is unfortunately a trend for engineers to start failed business enterprises based on the mistaken belief that their edge is their unique knowledge. Entrepreneurship is mostly about being able to manage your resources well, strategizing, risk taking, forming connections and hiring the right people. > And how can I leverage my wealth of knowledge to become a successful entrepreneur? This is the wrong mindset. You just cannot, unless your knowledge is entrepreneurial experience. You have to become an entrepreneur and stop being an employee, if you indeed want to be an entrepreneur.
