A small piece of anecdata that feels relevant : I took my three year old daughter to her friends birthday party yesterday - and there met amoungst others a chemical scientist with two PhDs, two City lawyers and an ex-fortune 50 development lead. All female, all skilled and all normally happy. And one who was extra happy because a local business was hiring her to do her old job, two half days a week and at a fraction of her rates.
Any one of whom happily outshone me in risk taking, capability and skill sets, but I was the self employed one.
I don't think that a high growth shoot for the moon startup can be run whilst doing anything else like raising kids, but there is a world of alternatives between the next 100m exit and nothing.
Oh and risk assessment - oh yes, given my daughter is currently jumping off the stairs onto a chair, risk assessment is a real boon to colonising that middle ground of entrepreneurialism as well as an equal number of all or nothing founders
