Abstract

This paper theoretically explores the considerations and reasons for choosing to become entrepreneurs. Both the rewards (achievement, freedom, power) and difficulties outlining the lifestyle of the entrepreneur are presented. Furthermore, myths and realities about entrepreneurs are presented , followed by a proposal for future projects that will complement the theoretical dimension with relevant empirical issues, that best describe the philosophy to be of entrepreneurs "are what we do."
