Entrepreneurship is like being in love. You just know it when it feels right. Be bold, but don’t rush it. There is no point in jumping into entrepreneurship for the sake of becoming an entrepreneur. Your project has to make sense, and you have to be ready to work hard and sacrifice for a long time before you see the results. Treat your corporate career as training for entrepreneurship, and focus your mind and your career path accordingly.
