Summary: The book looks at different definitions of entrepreneurship, and differentiates between the ladder world with its regular salaries and greater security, and the non-ladder world of irregular cashflow and higher risk. The book examines whether nature or nurture produces entrepreneurs, and looks at why ladder people can come to regard the ladder world as a health hazard. The triggers that can push you off the ladder are discussed, and the process of choosing in which business to make your mark is analysed. Fire in the Belly explores the prerequisites for starting your own business, and takes a sober look at some of the bad things that can happen when you are your own boss. The author also describes the fun bits of going it alone. The entrepreneur's ability to wear so many hats is discussed, and the phenomenon of people who hop on and off the employment ladder is also examined. The book finishes with some useful tips about how to overcome potential obstacles on your route to becoming your own boss.
