Every business starts with entrepreneurs. They are the people who come up with the business idea, source financing, create the product and get it in stores.

Entrepreneurs must be okay with taking risks, but this risk taking must be grounded by good strategic mind and business sense. It can take long tough work to get a business off the ground and many don’t go on to succeed. For those that do succeed, it can really pay off. Often entrepreneurs will have a strong personal drive and an understanding of how to get things done.

The internet has lowered the barriers for entrepreneurs. Now you can get started with just a website, making online products or selling physical goods over the internet.
