No, I do not think Karen is starting a firm for the right reason. From the provided textbook, it has been observed that in order to become a successful entrepreneur, money earning is nothing but secondary. The major thing should be the passion for starting a business and Karen lack that passion. Therefore, she will not make a potential entrepreneur.
