Entrepreneur - Are You Ready?

We have read Entrepreneur Magazine and Success Magazine. We have spoken to friends to mixed reviews, and have a nest egg. Are we ready to be an Entrepreneur? What does it mean? Do I have the background? Do I have enough Capital? Can I make it? Is the economy stable enough?

The above questions come into play nearly every time one of us thinks we are ready to be an entrepreneur. Owning a new business is the dream of many, and even more dream of it and stop the process, usually because of fear and concern about the future. Are the above questions the only questions we need to ask about entrepreneurship? The answer is no, but not the no you may be thinking of. Owning a new business is about some of the inquiries, such as capital, but really the answer is simpler than you think.

We have all heard of Dell Computers. There are some of you reading this very article on a Dell computer. Michael Dell started Dell computers with $1000.00! He became the youngest CEO of a company ever to earn a ranking on the Fortune 500. The company currently ranks No. 6 on Fortune magazine's Global "Most Admired" list. Another Entrepreneur we know of is Richard Branson. He began his career around the age of 17. School was extremely difficult for him as he struggled with dyslexia. He built his empire without having a corporate office. He officed from home. Warren Buffett started his business career delivering newspapers! Now he is making offers on Railroads for $34 Billion dollars.

What does it take to be ready to be an Entrepreneur? Here is a 6 part list, that, I would like you to review: Maybe this will help you in determining your entrepreneur tendencies

1. You like Challenges

2. Your Creative energy creates an atmosphere of out of the box problem solving

3. You are impulsive by nature and not afraid of risk

4. You are not afraid of making mistakes; you realize that as Wayne Gretzky says: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"

5. You are able to be passionate about the things you like

6. You are willing to take on responsibility and fix challenges

In conclusion: Many thousands of businesses have begun with no more than a passion, a little persistence and prayer. Take a look at your strengths and determine, or better yet, Make a Decision to pursue a new business!
