The world is full of “Entrepreneurs.”

They are everywhere! You cannot go anywhere in the entire world without coming into contact with these type of people.

Who are they?

They’re the ones who create jobs. They create products, services – things we cannot live without! They’re the ones who rise up early, stay up late, to reach for and grasp, something the rest of the world can only dream about.

Entrepreneurs are the ones who see what is and can dream about what’s not! A successful entrepreneur finds a problem and then creates a solution for profit!

Entrepreneurs build things – factories, buildings, hotels, restaurants, and bridges. They create products and services, new devices to entertain and thrill, communicate and educate the world – a plethora of enterprises making our world what it is today.

Will building your online business be easy?  No! It’s just as hard as building a regular “brick and mortar” business.

Long hours, early hours, late hours, unpaid hours is what it takes to really have the entrepreneurial heart, the mindset, the real stick-with-it character to see it through until it works. Real joy and satisfaction comes for the real entrepreneur over very simple and non-complex accomplishments. A payroll met, enough profit to pay the light bill, or even enough left over to take their spouse out for a special dinner!

For the online entrepreneur, seeing a campaign started, getting good ROI on a Facebook ad campaign, the joy of knowing your links work and the knowledge someone somewhere received value from your content, makes the sacrifices worthwhile.

Are you an Entrepreneur? Do you have what it takes to be one?

Do you fall apart when something goes wrong? Are you sensitive to negative criticism? Starting out, can you be happy working for little or no pay? When you are faced with a decision, do you freeze up? When you hit a brick wall are you prone to giving up and finding a different thing to do? How good are you at thinking on your feet? When the pressure is on, what do you do?

Many businesses fail, most businesses fold up and close within 3 years! This happens for many reasons, but for entrepreneurs, the failure of any business is simply an opportunity to learn from their mistakes and then to go on to build their next opportunity.

Can you handle this?

If not, you need to stick with your J-O-B!
