Another thing, if you're married or living with someone, don't expect a whole lot of support or kisses and hugs, during those inevitable tough times.

Unfortunately, most people are conditioned to "9 to 5, retire at 65," way of thinking. Many of them dream about starting their own business, but just can't seem to find courage to do so.

Instead, they'll observe you with a critical eye, secretly hoping you fail, so that they can justify their own fears and insecurities about being entrepreneurs.

So, if you're expecting support and encouragement from your family and friends, you're probably going to be disappointed. I don't mean to be a wet blanket but, that's just way it is. Most likely, you'll probably hear a bunch of negativity and comments about getting a real job.

That's point when you're going to have to look deep inside yourself and stay strong and focused. Because chances are, you're going to be going through this alone. That's why mind re-programming is so important. It'll help you stay focused and positive. And if by chance you do happen to have family and friends who do support you, so much better!

A second characteristic of entrepreneur is willingness to make mistakes. They wouldn’t worry so much about how to build a road as they would about locating their remote acreage in a highly productive area, and finding a reasonable path to nearest market. The details of road building would be delegated, probably to local labor. If labor force had never dealt with things like dynamite, surveying equipment, etc., initial attempts at a road would be crude at best. Still, entrepreneur worries less about being perfect than they do about getting results. The mistakes only motivate them to try again, this time with a different plan.

A final characteristic of entrepreneur is vision. The entrepreneur doesn’t look at this vacant land and see a weedy expanse teeming with insects. He sees cleared and plowed fields of dreams, brimming with soybeans or other cash crops, a tidy ranch house, and a straight, paved road headed straight for world’s market. In short, entrepreneur starts with a picture of end result in mind, and builds steadily toward that end until picture becomes reality.

The road to your greatest opportunities and your highest level of success may still have to be built. Are you ready to pick up a shovel?
