In February, 2014, I shut down a business I'd built and run for 18 years. I took my staff to a Startup Weekend to show them what entrepreneurship looks like, and I wrote about it in Quartz: http://qz.com/173080/why

I agree but I think we must make it clear that the work we ask people to do should be similar to the work the employer wants done, but not work the employer would benefit from. I believe it is important to pay for work done for my benefit.
