The first question to ask is:
What makes an entrepreneur?
Inside all of us is the desire to be independent we are all capable of entrepreneurship.
It's so natural to desire independence. To be self-sufficient and not have to rely on others.
It's natural to be determined to succeed, to be goal oriented and desire a better future for yourself and your family.
So what makes some of us successful entrepreneurs and others opt to stay in the daily work routine. and be happy to work for someone else.

Your personal view of your life and business is largely based on your upbringing. Your family has so much influence on you. You grow up with their beliefs and morals. See their daily routine, work and lifestyle choices. As you grow older you may question their ideas but some people follow the same pathways. I remember my father saying work in a Bank it is a secure career!. I did this for a few years, but it turned out not to be emotionally rewarding. It was not a vocation, just a daily job that did pay the bills. Then I moved to teaching this was far more rewarding and finally |I broke free. I decided my skills and knowledge could be better used elsewhere. My decision was largely influenced by the changes in the education system that I did not agree with.
I grew up with a father who was an employee, the idea of entrepreneurship was the last thing to be considered. He thought I should go into banking or insurance for a great career path. He motivated and pushed me to get a good education, take exam after exam, and go to university. A good education was what was needed to be successful. However looking at people like Richard Branson is a good education really necessary to be successful? or are there other skills needed that are not taught at school.
So I got a great education.
I got a university degree and I became someone respected in society, a banker and then a teacher. However inside I still wanted a better lifestyle for my family and to be independant.
Some people are raised in a family where they have entrepreneurial parents and this breeds the same spirit of independence in them. An entrepreneurial industrious spirit. To have goals and be in control of their own destiny. Not reliant on others for their future.
When you start on the route to becoming an entrepreneur you will be, scared, nervous, not knowing what you are doing. Sometimes you will even ask yourself, Why am I even doing this? However with perseverance, hard work, and determination you will succeed. The only real difference between those who take the entrepreneurial route and those that stay in the daily safe routine is courage. With courage, you can achieve your goals.
Of course, there will be dark days, but there will be good days. Starting out takes hard work, determination, and the will to succeed. If at first you do not succeed then try, try again. It will be slow at first, but it will work out. All you need is the will to succeed. You will be determined to learn and people will offer support along the way. You need to know who to trust and who not to. The good days are really worth aiming for. Eventually, there will be far more good days than bad days, and even no bad days.
So if you have the determination and the desire you will succeed.
One great way to become an entrepreneur is to take advantage of Internet Marketing. You can build an online business selling your own services. Products or even other people products. There are so many ways. So go ahead if you believe in your own abilities and desire independence then my advice is break free.
