This is not an easy feat, considering the amount of sacrifice in terms of both time and money is humongous. Undoubtedly, the benefits of being an entrepreneur outweigh its risks, and the taste of victory would be much sweeter given that I would have put my heart and soul into it. However, I feel that that the time is yet to be right for me to do so and I would like to broaden my horizons by exploring the corporate world, learn to see things from a different perspective and acquire the necessary hard and soft skills before doing so.
