This Entrepreneur thing – is it for you?
The allure of the Entrepreneur lifestyle has long been something that go-getters have made look easy, fun, carefree – and even sexy! That can all be true, however, it is also true that the amount of work behind the scenes to keep a business profitable is not for the weak. Being an Entrepreneur is an adventure for those who can handle the risk and the thrill of not knowing what tomorrow will bring for the sake of following a path that is meaningful to them.

When considering becoming an Entrepreneur there are 5 points to get familiar with:
- Do you have the cash flow to sustain you through the slow business periods? Every business goes through ups and downs and will encounter slow periods. Having a reserve fund to keep you going will put you at ease as you go through the slower months.
- Growing a business will take a lot of time and effort. Do you have the time and the energy to dedicate to a business that never sleeps? As an established business there will be people to help you, but ultimately it is your responsibility to keep the business running, so consider if you are willing to give your time and energy as often as needed before you take the leap.
- How well do you know your target market and your customer? As a new business owner, you will need to cater to your target market and get your product or service to the right customers and/or clients. Knowing this intimately before you start will help to increase sales and properly direct marketing efforts.
- As you are preparing to buy into a business consider how well you know the industry you are buying into. Knowing how an industry works, and the pace at which the technology grows and changes will give you the best chance at success.
- All the preparation in the world won’t do any good unless you are confident that you can be successful in the face of uncertainty. Believing in yourself goes a long way when you are facing some tough decisions and choices as a business owner. There are a lot of moving pieces so knowing your own strength and ability to function in uncertainty is paramount to keeping your head up through the tough times.
