I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. When I look around at the successful entrepreneurs, I feel like most of them never really intended to be a business owner. They never set out with THAT goal. Instead, becoming a business owner appears to have been a side-effect of pursuing something that they were intrinsically interested in.
To that end, it would seem as though I am not a good candidate for entrepreneurship. I am deliberately searching for, and trying to start, a business of some kind. It's the business that is my goal, instead of the side effect. I wonder more and more, if I have it completely backwards, and if I truly have a snowballs chance in hell of starting a company, as a result.
I know there are many founders on HN, so I would love to get some perspective from you all (or anyone else). Am I crazy? Should I abandon my direct efforts and instead let the wind blow where it may?
