Are Entrepreneurs Really More Comfortable with Risk?

Here's my theory. It's not that entrepreneurs are more risk-tolerant than the average person, but that their idealistic desire to "make a difference" and not having to "answer to the boss" outweighs their risk-aversion. Of course, most of them end up making no difference and having to answer to investors, but that realization usually comes after several years of experience.
