- What does it take to succeed with a small business? From the Broad Reach Sails example, do you believe it helps to have some experience in the industry in which you are starting a small business?
In my opinion, what makes them a good entrepreneur is someone who loves what they are doing, who can sacrifice a lot of there time and don’t have other obligations, they can manage there time well and be able to grow very well. These are all examples of what a good entrepreneur is.
I guess i kind of would make a good entrepreneur, but i would be afraid of taking the risks. So i would be more comfortable working in a field that i love but under either another companies or something else.
