What is the best way to become an entrepreneur in the IT industry?

[JohnFuture]

Hi guys,

What is the best way to become an entrepreneur in the IT industry? How do you balance between people and IT?

I'm now on the stage where I'm not sure if I am doing the right way. I want to become an entrepreneur. But what kind of person is an entrepreneur? For example in the IT company. A person who leads other people without doing the technical part? Or the person who used to do the technical part but after years of hard work now it's dealing with people management, deals etc.?

People like Bill Gates, Elon Musk etc. all these guys used to do the technical part of the job but now they are dealing more on the business side. However, in many businesses people never did the 'technical part' but only straight to the management and they are successful.

My question is: What do you think, what would be the best way to become an entrepreneur? Sometimes I think if I will focus too much on the technical part I will not be successful with people and opposite. Or perhaps everything must be in balance?

For my own experience, I attend different IT conferences, workshops and also university and independent IT study as well as I attend toastmasters and leadership places where I can boost my leadership.

What can you say, what is your experience?
