Why do people become entrepreneurs?

What is it about entrepreneurship that attracts some of the best minds?

Is it the wealth creation? Is it the excitement of creating something new? Is it the joy of navigating through complete ambiguity? Figuring things out with every meeting - and then realising that all you learnt so far does not apply?

Why aren't people happy in their high-paying jobs? Why are corporates struggling to hold on to some of their best talent - and in the end, losing them to entrepreneurship?

What is it about the corporate environment that makes people yearn for the freedom of being on their own?

After all, each corporate today was started by some entrepreneur long ago! What goes wrong along the way? Does the reason people become entrepreneurs get irrelevant after the business reaches a certain stage?

Questions. Questions. Next time, some attempts at answers.
