Matt Bandyk's article "How to Go From Unemployed to Entrepreneur" says the keys to success for an "accidental entrepreneur" (i.e. someone who lost his/her job) are to:

1. Do what you know.

2. Surround yourself with excellent partners.

3. Have enough of a cash cushion.

4. Be in business.

5. Family support.

But do unemployed corporate workers really translate into good entrepreneurs?

Hi Kevin

I am not too sure if they do. I think that there is a steep learning curve between
working in a job for a regular salary or being your own boss and totally dependent
on yourself for your income.
I worked at one stage in an MLM company & noticed that unless distributors were
willing to open their minds and take the leap, they generally didn't fare well as the
risk involved in being an entrepreneur can be quite scary.
