There are many misconception about entrepreneurship.  Some view it as quick path to being wealthy.  Some lucky ones become wealthy but it does not mean that entrepreneurship is a rose garden, a bed of roses.  It is strewn with thorns, dangers and broken glasses, to put this mildly.




According to Brian Hamilton, the unknown side of entrepreneurship are:

1.  It takes a long time to grow the business;

2.  You need to manage people and it is difficult;

3.  There is a sense of isolation and it is usually profound.

4.  You may have job and lifestyle, but you are not necessarily wealthy
