A successful entrepreneur is one who is at the right place at the right time. You always need that break to make it big. Businesses are not built overnight. It is a long drawn process which tests your patience and determination to the core.
Which is the better way?? Entrepreneurship is better if you are looking for big money and to be your own boss. If you are not a big risk taker, you are better off with the job you have. But trying to balance both work and business is not a good idea.. you cannot do justice to either.
