Your description of the entrepreneur is right on. I think it comes down to the entrepreneurial mindset — just as you described — one that is committed to the vision, courage to take risks and consistent in taking action. Without the perseverance to succeed in light of challenges businesses fail.

And yes, one of the biggest challenges is spelling — entrepreneur!!

Very true. I would say Persistence is crucial. You won’t progress unless you persist. For me, fear of failure has always been a big hurdle to overcome.

Tony Robbins said it very nicely .. “The most successful people aren’t the smartest or hardest working; they’re the ones who can cope best with frustrations”

Best wishes,

Your right about being afraid of failure.
I am not afriad to lose,
A domain might cost $7 and it could be a flop.
I always taking that risk. In fact I have many dead domains collecting dust becuase there were all just flops. But the risk is always worth it becuase I have also come stroke gold a few of them.

Not to mention, I admit I, too, has a problem spelling entrepreneur. (The other word which I found spelling it difficult is “bureaucracy”).

I’ve had a failed business and thought it’s the end of my world. But I knew what I wanted from life so I picked myself up…less than a year later I became a huge success only to leave that business because of differences with a partner at the time.

Because I believe in myself I keep going and that makes a huge difference as an Entreprenuer! (having the desire).

I love that word so much (I’m so proud of what it means to me) and what makes me laugh is the people who hate it! – society in general are scared of what they don’t understand and that’s just ignorance.

So many people who want to be ‘entrepreneurs’ don’t take action and therefore are always doomed to aspire for their entire lives. Just as you say, if this is what you want then you need to take the risk and take action.
