More Reasons to Build an Entrepreneurial Dream

I invited The Dreaming Cafe’s Newsletter readers to submit their top five reasons to build an entrepreneurial dream. The original article, 37 Reasons to Build an Entrepreneurial Dream, appeared last week, Sunday, July 26, 2009.

I also invited friends from Twitter to submit their top reasons.

Listed below are the responses I received:

Sharee…
1. Creating multiple profit centers from portable business ventures allows me to travel, write and do photography from anywhere in the world. This flexibility allows me to visit my friends and family around the country/world.
2. I can be creative and inventive without the guidelines of the bureaucracy.
3. I can write, publish books and newsletters on my own schedule.
4. The entrepreneurial dream gives me the opportunity to fill up my Renaissance Soul.
5. Being involved in the spirit of entrepreneur ship, facilitates an involvement with other like minded souls.

1. Freedom from the rat-race-9-5-pace
2. The freedom to volunteer and be a part of committees (or teams) of awesome people who can teach you more than any class can.
3. The time to take a mentor to lunch, and have time to really listen to what they have to say.
4. The privilege of never sitting through another mind-numbing-brain-suckin-all-talk-and-no-action company meeting.
5. The freedom to build an empire for ME, not someone else.
6. Freedom to take classes, attend seminars or even go back to school if I want.
