According to this business infographic created by oDesk, the modern take on starting entrepreneurship is based more on the entrepreneurial mindset than on actually starting your own business.
Sending out a general warning to companies regarding people in what many would consider to be "regular" jobs, on average 71% of people want to quit in order to become independent while 61% plan on quitting within the next two years.
