Working For Yourself vs. Working For Others
"I work 80 hours a week for myself just so I do not have to work 40 for someone else"
- Erik Kimel, President of NYU Entrepreneurial Exchange Group, Young Entrepreneur
Commentary: I do not know Erik, but this quote is my reality right now. There is something exhilirating working for yourself, even if you're getting paid less and working more than others.

I came to the realization a few years ago that I would rather make $30,000 a year as an entrepreneur than $100,000 as an employee. I simply am not wired for the corporate world, the satisfaction of being your own boss can not be replaced by any job.
