Joshua Walker found early success as an entrepreneur, but he soon learned that starting a business isn’t for everyone.
Walker and his wife ran a digital consultancy from 2016-2017, and the business was successful in landing projects. However, Walker changed directions on 2017, joining global consulting giant Deloitte.
“The misconception of starting a business is, if you don’t go into it with the right mindset, you’re going into a private prison,” Walker told Orlando Business Journal. “You’re trading working 40-50 hours for working 24/7.”
Entrepreneurship and technology often are discussed hand-in-hand, but Walker said many young tech workers overlook the career path of intrapreneurship, which is promoting innovation and entrepreneur-like thinking within a larger organization.
