Economic Opps' William Taylor comments on, "Designs On Being An Entrepreneur? 5 Things You Need To Know."

        As I read Jim Dyson’s "Designs on Being an Entrepreneur?  5 Things You Need to Know." ( He is the vacuum cleaner inventor), it struck me that he was looking back on what he did to become a successful entrepreneur. I like the definition of entrepreneur he sites: it is “a doer” or “one who undertakes things”. What have you accomplished in your life?  What have you taken a risk on and decided to undertake, whatever “it” is. 

        What I love about my business is that the risk is pretty well limited to your time and effort, not your life savings.   The company is the innovator and your job is to find out what works for you and never give up until you do.


That is what separates entrepreneurs from the rest of the people looking to be paid to sit in a chair, where they dream about wealth and success falling in their lap like a winning lottery ticket.
