Why I Quit Entrepreneurship and Got a Real Job

No it is not me this time but Rob aka Businesspundit has taken a hiatus from being entrepreneur:

"It's hard to find a job after doing your own thing, but I managed to get several great offers. Four of the five were with very young companies, two pre-funding startups, two older startups with some funding, and a rapidly growing corporate spinoff. I ended up with a young company that does wireless software (bluetooth, WLAN, UWB, etc.) with a focus on embedded platforms. They have asked not to be mentioned on this blog. I only ask that if you know me well enough to know them, please don't blog about it. I'm one of three people on the "business" side, and I get to have a role in defining my tasks and job scope, which is cool. I also get to see lots of great technology that is coming down the road, as our primary customers are companies developing new products.

I still intend to go back to entrepreneurship someday, but honestly, this job has all the fun and excitement plus a steady paycheck, so I don't really feel like I'm in the big company grind. I'm very satisfied with helping drive this company to the next level.

II. What I've Learned
Entrepreneurship is difficult. No matter how smart you are, how well you plan, or how hard you work, there is still lots of luck and timing involved. If you ever consider making the jump, here are some things to think about."
There is no doubt being an entrepreneur can often be a non Gloriouslinks experience. But it can also be a joy ride - you never know beforehand.
