Entrepreneurship Is Personal

For some people, running their own business is no mystery. They have relatives or friends who run businesses. Their life experience teaches them that starting a business is possible, and they also see how the entrepreneurs they know work.

For others, starting a business seems impossible. They may want to, but they don't know how. They may start a business and only later discover how they should have done it. They've wasted energy and taken unnecessary risks along the road, and they may have failed.

Those failures can be learning experiences. Entrepreneurs often move from venture to venture, improving their chances along the way. But why not learn what you can before you start?


I wanted to be an editor or a journalist, I wasn't really interested in being an entrepreneur, but I soon found I had to become an entrepreneur in order to keep my magazine going.
