Leaving one ‘ s job and striking off into a new venture patently requires a certain amount of courage and an ability to accept uncertainty. In this environment the individual has little or no assurance about the outcome of her efforts. Will there be enough money to pay the rent, feed the family? Under usual circumstance this a serious question. What emerges from the studies is that entrepreneurs are prepared for the ambiguity and uncertainty that result from striking off on their own. This is not to say they prefer it, but as noted by Finley, they are better able to handle it than others. In fact Begley and Boyd tested the hypothesis that entrepreneurs have a higher tolerance for ambiguity compared to managerial types. That entermined there was a significant difference, which supported the hypothesis.
