In my career I’ve been fortunate that my “entrepreneurial” interests aligned with my employer. So they have been willing to give me some time, and investment under certain conditions (still I put in a lot of my own extra hours, but shared in the upside). This is certainly easier at a small company where you’re a key contributor, but it helps tune the dial between stability and entrepreneurship.
I’ve had little interest in starting and running a business, but have successfully pioneered new markets and products outside my employers main focus and constraints, to everyone’s benefit. Entrepreneurship need not just be about a business, but a whole new model of doing business or achieving personal financial growth IMO.
