Recommendation

The quintessential stereotype of an entrepreneur is of a person who takes big risks with big money. Best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell provides evidence to dispel the popular myth that all successful entrepreneurs are gamblers. He presents numerous case studies of business people who carefully analyzed all the available data before seizing an opportunity others had overlooked. getAbstract recommends this analysis to would-be entrepreneurs who consider themselves too risk-averse to succeed. Once you see how much happier entrepreneurs are than other workers, you may feel compelled to join them.

Take-Aways

  • Most entrepreneurs who take risks fail at business.
  • Successful entrepreneurs are temperamentally unsuited to living with risky decisions.
  • Self-employed people enjoy their work and don’t want to risk their happiness for the chance of more money.
