Some of the best advice I've heard here, Dave! It's often said that people who love their work are the happiest people - because it's true!

You are correct Duncan.

One more thought: when you spend 1/3 of your life doing something you BETTER enjoy it! The repercussions of not are on your health, sanity and productivity.

Definitely NOT for everyone. Look at the small business failure rate. Not that having a business fail means you're not really an entrepreneur. But often, as the SBA literature says, businesses don't fail because of lack of business. It's got more to do with management which has to do with whether the person in question is able and prepared to do the management. This is often the real test whether someone is an entrepreneur or not.
