So you want to be your own boss? So do I. You want to go to
work at will, sign a few checks, drag your feet to lunch, back to the office
from lunch to pick your car keys and coat to drive home? Exactly, that is what
I want. Yes, life to the fullest, and of course, since I must get stuck in
traffic, I want my favorite music to play as I drive home after a hard day’s
work. But come to think of it, is this not a life admirable to any homo
sapiens? Yet how many of us are living this life? No one. The truth is, what we
have in mind is a wrong description of an entrepreneur. What we are asking for
is that we might be lazy entrepreneurs. The two wants, to be lazy, and to be an
entrepreneur can only be compatible in spoken language but can never happen in
reality.
I think that is where I have been stuck. Someone gave me the
wrong description of what and who an entrepreneur is in terms of their
attributes. It is time we learn from real entrepreneurs than fantasizing
situations. Consider many of our employers and you will find a very different
kind of a boss from the one I want to be. What I would wish to do in the
position of a boss is different from what is required of a boss. It surfaces
that, what I am asking for actually does not exist. It is like I want to
separate the employer from the responsibilities of one. I want the title and
not the responsibilities. Well, I think I possibly would get that in a play
script. It will never happen in a real world setting.
