Plan and prepare to succeed in business. Ask yourself the following questions. If you answer yes, you have the basic qualities of an entrepreneur. If you answer no to any of the questions, evaluate these as areas where you can build your skills. If you need to differentiate your product or service, gain management experience or access to capital, ask for help.
Entrepreneurs are often individualists who want to do it all on their own.
Before you take the plunge into entrepreneurship, take advantage of every resource that can help you succeed. The savvy entrepreneur looks for ways to succeed by tapping into existing resources, so his or her time can be spent on crucial issues and not on working past a steep learning curve. Volunteer members provide individual counseling and business workshops for aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners.
