When the average person makes the decision to stop working for someone else's company and start working for themselves, they often have an idea of what it might be like to not have to answer to the boss, or to not be bound by the politics that exist in an office environment. They fantasize of long vacations and fat bank accounts. Most people however usually find a whole new world of problems and rewards that they had no idea existed, until they became an entrepreneur that is.Although the life of the entrepreneur can be difficult, it can also be extremely rewarding. It just depends on what you consider to be a reward. You see, people have a tendency to disagree about a lot of things. Some people would say that success is measured financially, while others may rate success as recognition, popularity or in many other ways.Going into business for yourself requires that you determine your personal meaning of success first. If you do not define this word in your own terms, you have no way of measuring your successes or failures. You literally can achieve a form of success that does not fit into your definition. Would you know when you achieved it? Would you actually look at a success as a failure?I have learned that success comes in many forms. It can be as simple as someone remembering the name of your company, and as complex as landing your first ten thousand dollar deal. However you measure success is entirely up to you. No one can judge this for you, and often is is simply a perspective or a personal opinion.The path to success is the one less traveled. Others before you have walked it. Others before you have fallen by the wayside. Depending on your business and your plan, success may be an elusive animal, hard to find and swift to elude you just when you think it is around the corner. It is because of this that I have developed an alphabet or in other words, the "ABC's of the Entrepreneur" to make it a little easier.You may agree or disagree with these.
