Being an entrepreneur has a certain mystique. It's romantic, kind-of sexy to be able to set your own schedule, turn down jobs that you don't want.

2. Top Ten Myths of
Entrepreneurship
Part 1

3. Here are some of the myths I've
come across in my years in the
entrepreneurial ring, and what
I've learned from it all.

4. Myth #1 – Own Business = Quick Money.
• Fact – There is no such thing as easy
money
Starting your own business is not just about the
profits. It is also about enjoying the process of
having created something that is wholly yours.

5. Myth #2 – Entrepreneurs are born, not
made.
• Fact – Success takes practice, time and
dedication.
Focused thoughts and smart implementation are
what you need to work the entrepreneurial field.

6. Myth #3 – You must be in the right place at
the right time.
• Fact – Right where you are is the right
place and time.
You make adjustments to your business,
sometimes quite drastic changes – but you don't
close up shop. When the going gets tough,
change your game plan!

7. These first 3 myths all deal with
scenarios that are “supposedly” out
of our control – but isn't it amazing
to think that it's all about what we
do with what we are given that
makes the difference?
