Why do your own thing??

I often wondered why being an entrepreneur would be beneficial. There are many risks and responsibilities that are associated with it. So why do it?
Well, I think that it opens up so much for a person. It gives freedom. Not only in what they want to do as a career, but how it is done and why you feel it is the best route. It allows the person to become engulfed in something they SHOULD love, and therefore making work enjoyable (in theory). And to top it all off, you answer to NO ONE! You get to be the one making the call. This is a great feeling I hear, and would like to have it some day.
