I came across interview and book about Myths of Entrepreneurship. The book, written by Scott Shane, attempts to take opposite view on Entrepreneurship than we read and hear all the time. We have programmed our self to believe that Entrepreneurship is great and financially rewarding. Entrepreneurship is not financially rewarding says Scott Shane.
We read stories of hard working successful entrepreneurs. But most of the employers are probably better off as employees. These employers will be making more money, if they stayed as employees. One point Scott does agree that running a business is more satisfying than working as employee. But it would be wrong to believe that it will make an entrepreneur rich too.
