Inspirational Sunday: Is “Entrepreneurship” for the jobless?
Posted on | September 29, 2008 |
“My son is now an ‘entrepreneur’. That’s what you’re called when you don’t have a job.”
- Ted Turner, broadcasting entrepreneur
The “Mouth of the South” doesn’t need any introduction. The above statement was probably meant as self-depreciating humor. But does it carry some truth?
We (the RMO team) did have our first taste of off-line entrepreneurship when we were both out of jobs around 5 years ago, hawking wares on sidewalks. Although the said event in our lives didn’t last long, it did provide a lot of learning experiences and our first taste of “blood” too. 
At the moment though, online entrepreneurship is more of like a challenge for us rather than a career-replacement opportunity. Mind sharing stories behind our online money-making endeavors?

Well I guess some jump into entrepreneurship and others are pushed.
However I don’t think people being pushed into it is necessarily a bad thing. Sure the risks of entrepreneurship are higher than working for the man, but so are the rewards.
