There are a lot of young men and women that start businesses. But did you know that the average age of an entrepreneur is 40? You may also be thinking you don’t have enough money to start a business.This may be true. Certainly it’s prudent to start small and do it on the side. But for many would-be entrepreneurs it’s not a lack of money holding them back.

And, you need to be a person who sets goals, takes initiative and responsibility for their actions. It’s that simple. As an entrepreneur, you can help the economy grow and create jobs, both for you and your community.
In fact, in the United States, entrepreneurial activity creates 40 percent of all new jobs annually.Becoming an entrepreneur will require you and your loved ones to work harder than you have ever worked.
