I completely agree. I was raised in a family where the expectation was you went to work right out of(and even during) high school and then you worked hard, and 20-30 years later you retired. I tried this but I found no matter how much I applied myself, I wasn't ever satisfied. I always questioned my bosses logic and knew with every fiber of my soul I could run the business better than he could. It wasn't until my first small business that I understood that the reason I couldn't be happy as an employee is because I am not an employee. I'm an entrepreneur. Frankly, I'd rather earn minimum wage working for myself, than make a 6 figure income achieving someone else's dream.
Agreed - every time I get 'distracted' by giving up and getting a full time job, or getting sucked into something I thought I'd like but am not truly 100% passionate about, I end up feeling restless and re-exploring my entrepreneurial roots. If you have the entrepreneurial drive, it will always remain within you. It's just a matter of what you choose to do with it.
