The Basic Facts that an Entrepreneur Should Know
By Leon Presser There are a large number of books and other writings that purport to teach you how to become a successful business person in a short time. There are others that provide tests that will predict whether or not you will triumph as an entrepreneur. Notwithstanding all of these, there is no formula for success and there is no psychological test you can take that will tell you whether or not you can be a successful entrepreneur. What you can do is learn from the successes and the mistakes of others who have traveled the path ahead of you. Take note of what successful people did right. Learn from the experiences of those who reached their destination and who then asked themselves, “What could I have done differently to get here faster, more effectively, and with a greater degree of success?” Nevertheless, as you prepare to embark or continue on your entrepreneurial trek, there is basic information you should accumulate. The more you know the better your chances of success and/or the greater the level of success. The purpose of my book “What it takes to be an Entrepreneur” is to get you started and provide you with such basic information. In addition, it will help you improve your chances of success in a number of different ways. I have created this website dedicated to this book to help you interact with other entrepreneurs. I have included in this website a short test covering some basic information that you should be aware of. Take the test. Get a feeling for how much pertinent information you already know. We will be blogging on this website about many key entrepreneurial issues that should be of much help to you. However, the quality of these blogs and the success of this website will depend on your participation. It is intended to be a joint effort. That is the only way we will all benefit. Every time I post a new entry on this website I will notify everyone subscribed to this website as well as all of the fans of the Facebook page for this book (http://www.facebook.com/pages/What-It-Takes-To-Be-AnEntrepreneur/177468376190?ref=ts ), and all the followers of activities on this book on Twitter (http://twitter.com/LeonPresser). Now, please go and take the test offered here. Also, subscribe to this website so that you are notified promptly when important events occur. Let the fun begin.
