When did you first realize you had become an entrepreneur? – Entrepreneur Poll Results

Over the last few weeks we have been asking you “When did you first realize you had become an entrepreneur?”

Thanks to everyone who entered, the overall joint winners were:

“When i read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Kiyosaki, an uncle gave me that book and changed my way of think …”

“In the pond gathering shanked golf balls. sold them back 2 the golfers at a premium”

So onto the remainder of the results:

• I was at school and I was selling lollipops to kids for $1 and $2 which I was buying for 5cents. LOL
• When I bought my first car at 16 with online profits…”I was like..this is for me”!
• Around age 7 when I was selling baseball cards every weekend down at the corner of my street.
• I’ve always been one. Entrepreneurship is a state of mind, and a fire burning deep within you.
• When I got tired of working for dumbasses and decided to go out on my own…
• When I spent more time reading the busiess classifieds than the sunday comics.
• When my idea had actually been realized by some company, few months later.
• When I bought my 1st car cash from my first fireworks business. Started at age 12 & saved diligently.
• Don’t remember whether it was the summer neighborhood shows or renting comics first.

If you would still like to add your comments, we are leaving the contest open for 1 more week – enter at http://contests.youngentrepreneur.com/ or tweet your answer below.

Next week we will be starting a brand new entrepreneur Poll!
