Not everyone is cut out for a career as a self-directed entrepreneur.
Some people are best suited to work for someone else. I know this is a harsh statement to some, but that’s the way it is.
Even if you are starting out a business on the side (a.k.a. side hustle), you still might not be cut out for entrepreneurship. Just like what Gary Vaynerchuk says bluntly, “If you have a full-time job, you are not an entrepreneur.”
But don’t take my (or Gary’s) word for it. If you think you have what it takes, see if you can answer yes to all of the following “gut check” questions entrepreneurs should ask themselves.

I think #2 and #6 are really important. I have not found a single entrepreneur who is not self motivated. Also, don't fool yourself into thinking that your lifestyle will not change as a result of this. Not only you, but your friends and family members need to be willing to make necessary sacrifices.

Ivan: Great questions to ask yourself as an entrepreneur, including the start-up question, Why. I will debate with you on the word and concept if sacrifice. I don't use this word in my book. Rational selfishness is my ideal, not sacrificing a higher value for a lower / lesser item in your life.
