Let me think: weekly paycheck, health insurance, possible bonus, company car, laptop and blackberry or starting up solo without any security?

In this economy, with so many folks out of work, even the most driven (but struggling) entrepreneur, if given the opportunity to work for a large corporation making six figures, would jump from their start-up ship yelling “Yes”.

In this week’s Fairfield County Business Journal, one savvy entrepreneur, passed up large company security and $160,000 to remain just that, an entrepreneur.  Rebecca Hendrix, founded “Ladies Who Launch”, a company that provides networking and support through seminars and workshops for start-ups throughout the tri-state area and in  Chagrin Falls, Ohio.

In recent days, she received a call that tested her entrepreneural driven spirit and company premise.  A Manhattan job was hers for the taking and along with it came the usual big company perks.  Hendrix declined the offer.  Would you?

Your probably thinking: Well, it depends…How viable is my idea? How is my present company cash-flow? Is my start-up strong enough to weather possible storms ahead? Let’s face it, for young entrepreneurs (and I don’t mean young as in age), the past year has been a beast and the beast is still hanging around.

My opinion (not that you asked), is that the article doesn’t give the reader enough information about Ladies Who Launch, it’s success, it’s struggles, it’s loyal client base.  Hendrix’s staying power speaks volumes but I would like to know more about why.  How about you?
