An entrepreneur is:

a) Bob, who works as a designer for a large corporation, but runs a photography business on nights and weekends

b) Mary, who took a part time job doing phone sales while building her illustration business

c) Joe, a public school teacher who runs a life coaching business when he's not at school

d) None of the above

e) All of the above

Based on the post "So You Wanna Be An Entrepreneur ...," by Gary Vaynerchuk, he'd answer D, none of the above. But I would say E, all of the above.

In his post, Vaynerchuk asserted that if you're holding down a job working for someone else while trying to establish or run your own business, you're not actually an entrepreneur, you're just an entrepreneur wannabe.

I have huge respect for Vaynerchuk and admire plenty of his other pieces of work-after all he was a speaker at a past ICON. But I think his idea of entrepreneurship is nonsense. Here's why.
