117C- Reluctant Entrepreneurs- startup up out of necessity - by D.C. Denison [09:34m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadIn this episode of The Struggling Entrepreneur, we deliver the audio narration of the Boston Globe article (complete and unabridged, with all appropriate attributions) called ‘Starting up out of necessity — Dismal Job Market breeds ‘reluctant entrepreneurs.’
Authored by D. C. Denison, who is on the Globe staff, this article (which was published on the web on 19 February 2010) provides case studies of those entrepreneurs who became small business owners as a last resort after having been laid off — in some cases, where both husband and wife had lost their jobs around the same time.
As you will hear in this audio episode, the main objective of family members in the work force today seems to lean to having a structured job in an enterprise or in the Public Sector. However, sometimes the necessity of finding a revenue stream for a family’s income may come via a reluctance to enter the small business environment and become an entrepreneur. Hence the title “Reluctant Entrepreneur.”
We thank the author, D.C. Denison, for written permission to deliver this audio version to you in this podcast.
