The entrepreneurial journey begins with an idea and leads to the start of a new venture. Some argue that is the easy bit! The really hard part is the subsequent growth of the firm.

What are the personal implications of such choices? What might be the motivations for either? What should you really think about as a founder or CEO of a growing venture?
