I plan on becoming an entrepreneur! My paternal grandfather and great uncle owned a coffee shop together, my mom and her brother owned a pawn shop together and sold things on E-bay, and I've worked at a bowling alley owned and run by entrepreneurs and I currently work at a cinema owned and run by entrepreneurs. Im a senior in high school and have to write a paper on this topic and the thesis statement is Why do people become entrepreneurs? I was wondering if you could give me any feed back?
THANK YOU!

Apart from the reasons you have mentioned, I think it comes down to the capabilities of a person and how they are tethered when working for someone else. Being an entrepreneur in my opinion is about feeding your innovativeness in many cases. Money and convenience aside, the sense of accomplishment and bridging the gap between one's dreams and reality is the driving force behind being an entrepreneur.

Entrepreneurs Support Local Economies
It's no question that local entrepreneurs support the local economy more substantially than the ranks of larger corporations.
I suspect that as droves of hard-working Americans are laid off with all the corporate restructuring (collapsing) that's happening across the country, more people will see the light that they don't want (or can't) work for the Man.
There just isn't stability in corporations in the country. That opinions becomes fact every day when people are given a pink slip and then face the brutal reality on how they will pay the bills, support their family let along their community.
Solopreneure (1-man shops), true small businesses and small companies need to automate their marketing so they can deliver on quality products and services. Additionally, they ought to be efficient with their products and offer a tremendous quality to impress customers.
Software such as Infusionsoft is great for entrepreneurs who want to capitalize on their Web site, email marketing and sales automation. While the big companies ignore their loyal customers, small businesses can grow profitably and quickly just by investing some time in following up.

Excellent article, Scott. I venture to think entrepreneurs want the stability and satisfaction in providing their own income; becoming legitimately independent. Oh, and yeah, working without a boss is nice too. ;-)
