Broadly speaking there are two main reasons people become entrepreneurs:
1. To pursue an opportunity (including financial reward) — they see a gap in the market, want to solve a problem, build something new and capture the profit/growth that comes from that value creation.
2. To gain independence and control — they want autonomy over their work, schedule and decisions (be their own boss) and shape their lifestyle.
(Another common framing is opportunity‑driven vs necessity‑driven entrepreneurship — starting to exploit a chance versus starting because of lack of other options.)
