Business News Daily Features CEO, Linda Parry

Being an entrepreneur is awesome — but not necessarily for the reasons you might think. Despite being their own bosses, entrepreneurs don't necessarily work fewer hours than their 9-to-5 peers. And no, they don't all wear pajamas to work every day.

So why, then, is entrepreneurship so great? Business News Daily asked entrepreneurs from all over the world to answer that very question. Here are a few of their answers, including one from our CEO, Linda Parry:

No. 45: When I started my business, my father said, "I'm not a betting man, but if I was, I'd bet on you." He was right. When you bet on yourself, you have the best odds to win. — Kelly Alvarez Vitale, president, Strategic Philanthropy Inc.

No. 51: My performance is measured by looking at the bottom line, not some arbitrary assessment interview conducted by someone I just met that day. — Kenneth Havens, owner, Freedom Online Japanese Market

No. 70: I don't see it as business; I see it as a game. How many new appointments can I secure today? How many sales can I generate?— Linda Parry, CEO, Product Launchers

No. 88: The entrepreneur community has a certain energy. Personally, I found it to be absent entirely from corporate America, and we thrive on it daily today. — Mike Solow, CEO, Idea HarvestLLC

No. 97: As an entrepreneur, you add value to society, as some product or service exists in the world because of you. — Mike Oeth, CEO, OnSip
