Most people agree that entrepreneurs have to think differently and take risks to have much chance of building a successful business. Yet I have found that serious entrepreneurs usually go way beyond these platitudes in their actions and thinking, and often won’t volunteer their real views, for fear of alienating “regular” people, and being branded a fanatic.

I don't know whether to be shocked at the fact I'm not shocked, especially at the idea of putting business before family (I know about that one from personal experience) or to be shocked that there's nothing that crazy or quirky about the list. I think I've been living with an entrepreneur far too long to think any of this is crazy...and I'm sure it's rubbed off on me.
But one thing...about risk taking..I think for people worried about making a transition from working for a company to starting their own, how much of a risk is it anyway these days? The economy is so bad and jobs are so hard to find, that I just don't see starting one's own business as any riskier than working for a company who will likely lay you off when you're least expecting it, under pay you, take advantage of you or otherwise force you to compromise yourself.
Love the post, though...makes me think!
And thanks, as always, for sharing it with the BizSugar community. :)
