Is anyone an Entrepreneur?

My husband is an Entrepreneur, kind of. He doesn't really have his own business, but he does work for himself. He is a computer programmer and works contract work. For him it has worked out very well, he makes more than twice what he made working for an employer.

I have never started my own business, but I lend money to people who are small business people. Just be aware of what kind of capital ($$$) you are going to need to sustain your business in the early days and have it set aside, and you need to be able to account for growth and the increased capital needs at that time. Seems like most small businesses that fail do so because they are undercapitalized. You can't start a business on a shoestring, support your personal bills and the bills of the business without having some money set aside and a real business plan. You might start by contacting your local Small Business Development Center (SBDC). If you go to www.sba.gov, there is a ton of information available for people who want to start their own small business. I would definitely suggest you start there as you start planning what you want to do. You should be able to find your local SBDC through the SBA's website as well.

Good luck!

So sadly I am not an entrepreneur yet, but I plan on being one some time down the road- I took a FANTASTIC Entrepreneurship class last year at school...I learned so much stuff! I plan on opening up a horse (Quarter & Arabian) breeding and training facility, hopefully!
