Entrepreneurship, Startups

Some key questions to ask when considering entrepreneurship and startups include: Do you like working in teams? Are you ok with working extra hours/nights and weekends? Is job security important to you? A strong sense of ownership and proprietary values can be applied to any situation, whether you are the ultimate decision-maker operating an independent business or an “intrapreneur” running a venture within an organization.
