The Drive - why a true entrepreneur has to be an entrepreneur

I completely agree. I was raised in a family where the expectation was you went to work right out of(and even during) high school and then you worked hard, and 20-30 years later you retired. I tried this but I found no matter how much I applied myself, I wasn't ever satisfied. I always questioned my bosses logic and knew with every fiber of my soul I could run the business better than he could. It wasn't until my first small business that I understood that the reason I couldn't be happy as an employee is because I am not an employee. I'm an entrepreneur. Frankly, I'd rather earn minimum wage working for myself, than make a 6 figure income achieving someone else's dream.
Agreed - every time I get 'distracted' by giving up and getting a full time job, or getting sucked into something I thought I'd like but am not truly 100% passionate about, I end up feeling restless and re-exploring my entrepreneurial roots. If you have the entrepreneurial drive, it will always remain within you. It's just a matter of what you choose to do with it.
Heat is an insanely great movie.
Can't argue with that. Money shouldn't be the driving factor, money is nice, but there's certainly a point of diminishing returns.
