Can you be rich and still be a king?

I am sure everyone who is on the journey of entrepreneurship would go through this kind of a dilemma. This question came to me when we were discussing "Brand" for SME's. Of course these two topics have no connection but that is where we actually landed up.

There is a kind off irony here. You become a entrepreneur because you have the thrist of creating your own identity, you have the urge to innovate, venture out, try things that you like, be responsible for your actions and last but not the least, be in the control of your organizations goals and visions. You inspire to be a entrepreneur so that you can live a KING life.

And then comes a phase where you grow big and there is too much for one to take care off. You tend to loose your pace and find yourself dis-organized with things. So you move towards a step where you want to run your organization with professionals. You tend to move out of a family managed business to a professional corporate. This decision is taken only because you want to grow rich (generate profits). Because of this move soon you will find yourself not a king but a team player.

Are you contradicting the reason why you want to be a entrepreneur?
