Entrepreneur vs. Employee: They’re Both Great & They Both Suck. Here’s How to Make the Best of Both

from The James Altucher Show

We did this whole podcast off of my idea list for the day. I was in a Facebook group. And someone asked "What does entrepreneurship mean to you?" People had these corny answers like "value, freedom..." But when I started my first company in the 90's, I cried everyday for 15 years. It's stressful. Your business follows you everywhere. And eventually your employees are going to start having sex with each other. And a million things can take your dream down. That's not to say entrepreneurship is always a bad idea. It's not. I'm glad I did it. I feel like it made me stronger. But people can experience freedom and wealth and everything else from employeeship, too. So I wanted to explore that.
