In reply to Why dont more people start companies?
I was working in Asset Management with a private bank, until about 2 months ago. Most of my job consisted of taking people out to dinner, inflating their egos and listening to their success stories. I would say about 75% of my clients in the private bank were business owners. From what I can tell, they were all extremely good at selling and most were involved in sleepy boring industries, like box manufacturing or security services.
