ment as well as their needs.
Similarly, it is vital to differentiate
between being an entrepreneur and a
business owner. Entrepreneurs create
something out of nothing, they take
risks. Business owners create history.
The difference is that entrepreneurs are
great at inspiring others. The job of a
business owner is to let somebody else
do the work.
The road to becoming a successful entre-
preneur is full of obstacles. But successful
entrepreneurs have passion, tenacity and
the ability to take on a challenge. Their
backbone, strength and resilience allow
them to find the means to succeed.
