The mechanics of entrepreneurs from working class

Most proletarians aiming be an entrepreneur one day, have a unique feature. Everytime or most of the times they pay someone for a service they could also offer, a thought crosses their mind that they could themselves have a startup out of that.

For me, it was a coaching institute or web design, computer assistance or network management or assistance. It was the same story everytime. And it was similar with my friends. Most who joined an institute helping them to apply for education abroad, always thought, if they didnt get thru, they'll start an institue of their own. And some of them were serious as well.

The point is, we might be better than those currently in business, but because we have always seen our parents' salary cheque handed to them at the end of the month, at some level we have been inured to the security that comes along with it. This lack of security in any new venture is the most important factor that has shackled such people to their jobs.

I dont know if there's any way to go around it. A startup has to be a really bold step I guess. And sometimes maybe too bold..
