If you have ever considered launching a startup. you may feel that it requires am al-m, percent focus, which would mean leaving a full time job. A new book by Patrick McGinnis,venture capitalist and founder of Dirigo Advisors,argues that all you need is of your spare time to become an entrepreneur. Patrick stopped by the Knowledgc@Wharton Show on Sirius XM channel 111 to talk about the book, The Entrepreneur.
Knowledge@Wharton How did you arrive at ?
Patrick McGinnis:I did this myself I was the guy bumbling around in the dark room looking for the light switch in my own life. I came out of this experience where my career went into upheaval,and I was looking for diversification. I started thinking,“What's an appropriate amount of time to spend on things outside of my day job that is meaningful but achievable?”I started at . I thought, that feels hike a lot let me get down to . Over time, I found out that the average angel investor invests of their net worth in side ventures.
Knowledge@Wharton:How many potential entrepreneurs do you think are scared away because they feel like they are sticking their neck out there, that they have to go or they can't go at all?
McGinnis:It's a substantial number of people. They look at that and say,“I's great, but I have a good job. I'm doing something that I always wanted to do. I'm not going to give all that up for the rollercoaster that is entrepreneurship.”I think it's actually quite pervasive. As I've talked to people about the book,I've been shocked at how many people throughout society are struggling with this dilemma.

Adding to that stomach- sinking sensation is the act that your Monday morning inbox is full of emails your boss sent the team over the weekend. Instead of being inspired by your boss’s ubiquitous presence,you start to wonder,"Does this person have a life?" You hustle and hit every deadline that's given to you. You tackle extra projects thrown your way. But after clocking eight or nine hours at the office,you go homo-unlike your boss. Do you have to match his/her marathon pace to get ahead?

How did Tencent take WeChat so far ahead of its rivals? The answer lies partly in the peculiarities of the local market. Unlike most Westerners,many Chinese possessed multiple mobile devices, and they quickly took to an app that offered them an easy way to integrate them all into a single digital identity. In America messaging apps had a potent competitor in the form of basic mobile-phone plans,which bundled in SMS messaging. But text messages were costly in China,so consumers eagerly adopted the tree messaging app. And e-mail never took off on the mainland the way it has around the world, mainly because the internet came late;that left an opening for messaging apps.
But the bigger explanation for WeChat’s rise is Tencent’s ability to innovate. Many Chinese grew up using QQ,a PC-based messaging platform offered by Tencent that still has over 800m registered users. QQ was a copy of ICQ,a pioneering Israeli messaging service. But then the Chinese imitator learned to think for itself. Spotting the coming rise of the mobile internet. Tencent challenged several internal teams to design and develop a smartphone only messaging app. The QQ insiders came up with something along the lines of their existing product for the PC,but another team of outsiders (from a just-acquired firm) came up with WeChat. When Tencent launched the new app. it made it easy for QQ's users to transfer their contacts over to the new app.
