Subject: RE: Folklore: Entrepreneurship stories as Folklore
Ged,

Franz`s statement about most entrepeneurs not being rich wealthy is true according to my knowledge. The chambers of commerce will have statistics about this. Interestingly, over here (Germany) most jobs are provided by small to medium-sized businesses, not by the big international companies everybody thinks about when it comes to "entrepeneurs".

Since someone mentioned Bill Gates: didn`t he start out from a garage like a lot of big businesses (including bands)? Maybe the reason that there are no folk-songs about that is that his business needed ELECTRICITY? ;0)

Best
