WHY
April 2015
entrepreneurs start their own
business
REZA GHIABI
The Motivational Matrix
Why people start businesses, what they want out of the
entrepreneurial life, and how their values change over
time
Wasserman and Timothy Butler, senior fellow and
director of career development programs at Harvard
Business School, surveyed roughly 2,000 founders
about their motivations. They carved out results for
men and women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s-and-
beyond, and compared the results with those for
thousands of non-entrepreneurs who completed the
same survey.

Entrepreneurs are often financially
comfortable in their 40s, which
make room in their lives for
seeking satisfaction elsewhere.

MANAGING PEOPLE:
Young entrepreneurs managing
people with other early motivation:
power. As leadership experience
teaches them the joys of inspiring
rather than directing, their interest
in pure management wanes.
