I have found that most people don't have the discipline to own their own business. It's not only the ups and downs (not having a guaranteed income..like a job), but being able to wake up in the morning and work all day without a boss telling you what to do.

  I agree with you. If you aren't self motivated then entrepreneurship is not for you.. Some day I'll write a blog post about common personality traits of effective entrepreneurs.

None of those 5 reasons are attractive to me: 1.- Do something you’re passionate about. I'm already doing something I'm passionated about, I'm in charge of a producton system that Works 24/7 the 365 days of the year and thousands of transactions daily, I created it alone from the scratch, nothing can't apassionate me more right now. 2. Learn something new every day. That's not exclusive of an entrepreneur, I learn new stuff avery day in my day to day work, and since I'm the architech I decide what new stuff goes in. 3. Get a daily dose of adrenaline. Believe me, keep such vital system working flawless daily, where a failure can cost thousands per minute gives me anough adrenaline. 4. Work with people you like. I chose the people I work with, so, no problem there eather. 5. Prioritize your own work, Same, as an architech I decide priorities, so no problem there. There are better ways to promote entrepreneurnism, this article is not good at doing it.

    Let me tell you what could make entrepreneurship atrractive to me: 1.- Independence from a boss, technically customers bcome your your new boss, but is not the same. 2.- Decide how much income I want, it would depend on me. 3.- Decide from where I want to work. 4.- Decide te kind of relations you want, in a vertical market you don't get much of that. 3.-
