Being An Entrepreneur

We are all entrepreneurs in our own right, because each of us is the Managing Director of "Me Limited" for the whole of our lives, and you can't be fired, even if you go bankrupt. This is an essential skill for success in life.  However you need to define what success means to you. The basic skills of an entrepreneur can be further developed at work or at home using your hobbies and interests. Starting your own business and becoming a business entrepreneur takes this skill set to another level, and is something that many people dream about but are afraid to do, but the basic skills can be learned, and are available to everybody.

The entrepreneur is our visionary, the creator in each of us. We're born with that quality and it defines our lives as we respond to what we see, hear, feel, and experience. It is developed, nurtured, and given space to flourish or is squelched, thwarted, without air or stimulation, and dies. - Michael Gerber
