Are you really an entrepreneur?

September 21, 2005

flunky.jpgReading a post from a couple of weeks ago called, "The Top 6 Mistakes of Committed Young Entrepreneurs" I was compelled to comment.  The post was by Michael Simmons and can be found here.  He suggests that the first two mistakes are:

  • Not getting started
  • Not keeping with it

His post is not without merit and he makes some good points, but I have to take issues with these first two ‘mistakes’.  If you do not get started you are not an entrepreneur.  If you do not keep with it you are not committed.  So by definition you cannot be a committed entrepreneur if you never get started or fail to keep with it.  Am I off base here?
