Others enjoy the security of having a regular paycheck by working for someone else. This session explores the many sides of entrepreneurship. What is the difference between dreaming and doing? The difference comes down to three things: knowing what you can do, knowing what you can't do, and the ability to plan. Without carefully knowing yourself and evaluating your skills, opening your own business could spell disaster.
