We all love Jeff Bezos but most of us won't be him. You must be the most successful version of you that you can be. All small business owners are entrepreneurs. Find a need in your area and find a way to fulfill it. Perhaps there is a shortage of lawn care, brush clearing, or painting professio...
Most technologies that drive entrepreneurship usually come from hobbies .. so with that, here's my list of opportunities / technologies driving entrepreneurship: 3D printers. Sure today they look like toys, but they already have industrial strength ones that are used to create metal objects, an...
There's only one answer to this question and it might sound pretentious: experience. As you go along, you might find some of your experiences remind you of certain stuff other entrepreneurs have said but you will very often find yourself going your own way even if they advise against it. You may...

Take half the money and start a business, it will likely fail. You will also learn a great deal. Take the other half of what you would have spent on university and start your next business. You will have a better outcome. I spent 10 years after getting my BBA degree un-learning what I was tau...
You avoid it. How? By having a clear plan and having decided ahead of time what's important. Many entrepreneurs, especially those without a lot of experience at it, confuse hyper-activity with progress. Don't do that.
