If given an opportunity to be an entrepreneur between two options of which is to build a business brand from scratch just to sell it to bigger pocket buyers later or keep growing the business until it gets so big and expands into branches/divisions until retirement.
That is, once the start up business has shown remarkable growth, one prefers to sell it and start up another one or stick to the growing business until the very end, probably opening up branches and keeping at it until one does retire and pass it on to your children?
* Would you prefer to be a serial entrepreneur than to be a corporate entrepreneur (intrapreneur)?
An entreprenaur is someone that does not stand still and is constantly evolving. You'll find that most will have gone through many different ideas and attempts before finally landing on a business that makes financial sense, all you're talking about is the final outcome while missing the bigger picture. If you are an entrepreneur you are constantly testing new things, if you decide to settle with a solid business that you have grown, then you might have made enough profit to stop reaching for new ideas. Indeed we need people that stick with businesses long term, because they can often stumble when a highly knowledgeable owner steps away without the proper support system in place. I'm not sure there is a clear cut answer to the question you have posed because it comes down to individual circumstances.
