A frequent question I receive is how do I become an entrepreneur? After all, there is no “entrepreneur school.” There’s not a specific course you can take in college or a certain degree you can strive for. The concept of entrepreneurship is vague by nature, so it can seem like an elusive target.

Marketing, selling, networking and the like are “things” that can be taught. Anyone can learn the technical aspects of business. But possessing the right mentality and perspective is what will ensure you have a strong foundation from which to create your reality.
