Dean Graziosi explains his motivation for becoming an entrepreneur: he watched his parents work long hours for others, struggle financially, and miss family moments (e.g., his baseball games). Seeing his mother's three jobs and his father's work in a collision shop, and their unfulfilled aspirations, motivated him to seek control over his life by creating his own income and being his own boss.
I became an entrepreneur because I watched my mom and dad work for other people, struggle, not have anything, and have to listen to someone else's guidance. I watched my mom work three jobs to make nothing, come home really late and tired. I watched my dad work in a collision shop where he wanted more. Both of them had aspirations, both of them had dreams, and both of them couldn't even come to my baseball games because they didn't have time. And I didn't know the word entrepreneur. I just know I needed to be in control of my life and if I created my own income and I was my own boss, I could make the decisions I needed to make.
