Defying the cage animal concept

I like to call people drawing a monthly salary "Cage animals" They go to work everyday and they get paid every month. What happens in between is irrelevant. He/she gets fed every month.This also implies that you belong to someone- the one that is feeding you. Entrepreneurs and business owners (O yes there are major differences) are different. They are hunters : If you do not hunt you do not eat : It is that simple. We ( my wife and I) have been Entrepreneurs for the past 11 years. Had very hard times, had exceptionally good times , Had hard times again (we were in the property business and the insurance brokerage business ) when the economy hit us like a train. So ? Go and work for someone again.
Not in this life. Started a new venture again 6 months ago and we are not looking back. ( The business ? Private homeschool mentoring centres - the market is huge, the knowledgable players are few and with the shambles in the public school system it is the right time now !) I think quoting Nike here would be appropriate : Just do it ! But I like their biggest competitors slogan much more : "Impossible is nothing"
