You gain experience.

You have nothing to lose.

You develop networking skills.

Two-thirds of millionaires are entrepreneurs, according to Thomas Stanley and William   Dank, authors of The Millionaire Mind.

You increase your value. Put simply, becoming an entrepreneur increases the value of "the brand called you" and gives you more options.

You will learn more about yourself. Entrepreneurship is the combination of all the disciplines of business. It includes the knowledge of marketing, accounting, management and operations.

Some students who are terrified to speak in front of others end up looking forward to public speaking, as they gain experience.
