Which is a common risk faced by entrepreneurs?

• A. Long hours
• B. Predictable income
• C. High starting salaries
• D. Stable market

Answer: (A)

Entrepreneurs commonly face a significant time commitment; building a new business often requires working far longer hours than a typical job, especially at the start. You’re juggling product development, sales, operations, cash flow, and customer support, all while trying to proof a business model. That extended workload brings real risks to health, personal life, and sustainable performance, making long hours the most typical risk. Predictable income isn’t common in new ventures because revenue can be irregular while the business grows. High starting salaries are rare for startups, and markets can be volatile, but those factors aren’t the personal-workload risk that startup founders most often encounter.
