I totally agree with you on the fancy "idea" of entrepreneurship. I too, had my few "amateur attempts" for the wrong reasons.

This is really well explained, a byproduct is a great word to describe it.

Entrepreneurship is a byproduct, of wanting to become a producer in the world. And the desire has to be so strong, that you are willing to work harder, and longer than you normally would, don't care whether you have to do another job to support your desire to become an independent creator.

Through my failures and eagerness to learn, it always comes down to following the passion.

Thanks so much for adding this great point to the topic of entrepreneurship. It has so much truth and I couldn't agree more.
