An entrepreneur is an individual who is in a class all be his or her self. There have been no how to guides written that breaks down what you really need to do to be an entrepreneur. Even if you take a business class, or get a degree in business, you are not really prepared to be an entrepreneur. Why? Because being an entrepreneur is not taught: it is learned and experienced. When you decide to make the leap to go into business for yourself, you are really jumping off into uncharted territory. You don't know if the idea you have will prove to be a success or failure. You don't know if your marketing techniques will work, or if they will prove to be a complete and utter waste of time. So, let me ask you this: Are you a risk taker or are you afraid of risk? If you are afraid to take risks and venture out into the unknown, chances are you are not ready to be an entrepreneur and be in business for yourself. Entrepreneurs take risks every single day. They have to have confidence. They have to negotiate contracts, obtain new clients, balance checkbooks, etc. Ask yourself this tough question: Am I a risk taker? If you cannot truly say yes then please don't quit your day job. And if you happen to be unemployed, I suggest you embark on a quest to find work.
Until next time,
