Ask HN: Why do you want to be an entrepreneur?

When I saw this question, my first thoughts were as follows. Looking at these, not sure if they're exactly on point, but they sure do reveal a bit about my thinking.

* When I see a problem, I can’t help but fix it.

* Inefficient processes piss me off. I instinctively start thinking of better solutions.

* I love shortcuts and using system to my advantage.

* I get a kick out of being resourceful and coming up with duck-tape solutions.

* I enjoy doing a different thing each day and look forward to challenges and crises.

* I want to make the calls – more than that, and I want to be responsible for any bad decisions.

* I need to make a difference in the world.
