I completed a survey on entrepreneurship the other day for a local college kid's project. There was a multiple-choice question asking why I became an entrepreneur. The options were things like "being my own boss", "working from a preferred location", and "making more money".
I had to choose "other" and write in "I can't not do this."
It is an almost uncontrollable urge. I think it could be safe to say that kind of compulsion limits my ability to do a really good risk assessment. So far it works for me though :)
I feel exactly the same way. Should I find myself with an extra million in the bank, it would not change the feeling. There is a particular rush from making your ideas into reality.
