Entrepreneurship represents an interesting path of professional development: people are driven to be entrepreneurs by different motivations. This research aims at detecting whether successful entrepreneurs have different motivations in entrepreneurial choices when compared to unsuccessful entrepreneurs. 100 users (representative of population) of the Chamber of Commerce’s New-Entrepreneurial-Service in Verona were contacted via telephone interview. Results reveal that successful entrepreneurs are significantly: less willing to conciliate work and family, more intent upon realizing new ideas, and more oriented to working without a boss. Effects of age and educational qualifications are provided.

Abstract
Entrepreneurship represents an interesting path of professional development: people are driven to be entrepreneurs by different motivations. This research aims at detecting whether successful entrepreneurs have different motivations in entrepreneurial choices when compared to unsuccessful entrepreneurs. 100 users (representative of population) of the Chamber of Commerce’s New-Entrepreneurial-Service in Verona were contacted via telephone interview. Results reveal that successful entrepreneurs are significantly: less willing to conciliate work and family, more intent upon realizing new ideas, and more oriented to working without a boss. Effects of age and educational qualifications are provided.
