to make a lot of money. However, interviews with thousands of entre-

You have to get your feet wet in some way. If you are eventually going
to be a big success, you have to get some entrepreneurial experience.

new experiences you have. Entrepreneurs who become successful only
achieve their goals after many months and even years of success and
failure. They have been through every difficulty, setback and challenge
that is possible for a small businessperson to experience. As a result of
