On a scale of 1 to 10, I would say my level of personal interest in becoming an entrepreneur is about 1. There are many reasons I would rate myself 1, not the least of which being lack of confidence. I lack the confidence and the drive to sell myself the way an entrepreneur needs to. I do not enjoy being front and center, and have always been a "back of the house" type worker. I am also not a risk taker at this point in my life, and that is something that I believe all entrepreneurs must have to succeed. I also do not do well with public speaking, unless I am speaking to a group I know and work with.
