Do you have what it takes to start a business of your own?

by Cale Bruckner on May 3, 2007

The Entrepreneur featured a post today titled Risks, Rewards, and Entrepreneurship that discusses what it takes, on a personal level, to start and grow a successful business.

Starting a business is one of those huge, life-altering events. Think of it as a marriage; running a successful business takes the same depth of commitment and desire.

If you’re thinking about starting a business of your own, but find yourself wondering if you have the "right stuff," this post is worth reading. On the other hand, if you have to read a post like this to know – you’re not off to a very good start ; )
