The popular idea of the entrepreneur is that he\u2019s a renegade risk-taker who goes all in with following his passion so that he can get out of the 9-5 rat race. <\/span><\/p>\n

But what if you enjoy your day job at the office? Or have other reasons for wanting to work for someone else? Heck, maybe you’re a doctor, or firefighter, or teacher and working for someone else is just part of the gig. If you fall into one of these categories, does that mean you’re completely barred from entrepreneurship?<\/span><\/p>\n

My guest today says \u201cno.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

His name is Patrick McGinnis and he\u2019s the author of the book The 10% Entrepreneur: Live Your Dream Without Quitting Your Day Job<\/em><\/a>. Today on the show, Patrick and I discuss the myths of becoming an entrepreneur — including the one that you have to go all in to be one — and discuss practical ways you can invest just 10% of your time and money into entrepreneurial endeavors. We also talk about the benefits of becoming a 10% entrepreneur, like boosting and diversifying your income streams, as well as becoming more competitive in the traditional job market.<\/span><\/p>\n
