"What do I do when I'm attacked by a man with a banana? It's easy, I just pull the lever and release the tiger"

Sure, making a few inside sales is "very easy", if you happen to have the skills, the contacts, the understanding of particular markets, the initiative, the ability/willingness not to panic when no money is coming in, etc. Opening a locked door is easy too, if you have the key, etc.

If, on the other hand, you aren't leveraging skills and experience but you just want/need money, you can't pull opportunity out of your hit based on your desire.

The worst possible reason to become an entrepreneur is needing money.



I'm sure there are worse reasons to become an entrepreneur. Needing money is a perfectly valid reason to try something new.


OK, I'd agree there are worse reasons but needing money is back because entrepreneurhood needs mindset and a skillset. Happening to need money doesn't get either of those.
