Do you really want to be an entrepreneur?

Do you really want to be an entrepreneur? Do you have the right attitude?
To be honest with you, I can’t yet answer those questions with 100% confidence. I’ve not been to “the bottom”. I plan on having getting to experience that in my career though. From my limited experience, the thrills of business are difficult to enjoy unless you have ownership, responsibility (maybe those are one in the same), and exposure to the upside. Then you can lose it all or make it all…poker anyone?

This talk below is from LeWeb 08 by Morten Lund. He is so honest it kills me and his positive attitude towards the downturn and his recent failure should be humbling and motivating for anyone!

I agree, you can just tell that this guy is no BS. He loves the risk reward and he's confident enough to love 30 million euros and know that he can do it again; if he wants to. Very inspiring and very real. If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.
