Do you agree that who ever has strong entrepreneurship personality will think of doing business even though they have 100 dollars?

I knew a guy who literally started out with a 5 gallon bucket, 2 brushes and a bottle of soap (aka way less than $100). Fast forward 20 years this guy is a millionaire running a very large cleaning company specializing in cleaning the exterior of large buildings. Really amazing.

If you have a burning desire to succeed you will find ways to succeed no matter what and you will not look for excuses to fail and you will not allow anything to stop you. It's the people who are not highly motivated who find lame excuses such as not having enough money. Some other lame excuses are "the economy is bad," "there's too much competition," and "It's too hard to learn new skills." It's all garbage.

The thing that first motivated me to start my own business was that I really really hated working for other people. They treated me like a slave. They were abusive and degrading. They damaged my physical health and my mental health, which took me a long time to recover from. The jobs were tedious, mind numbing, and depressing. I absolutely could not keep working for other people for the rest of my life. It would have killed me at an early age or I would have killed myself! I absolutely HAD to become successfully self employed and failure was NOT an option. My other motivation is to get rich doing something that I love. So right now I am making good money working in my own business doing something I love and I think I will be a multimillionaire within a few years. That's the plan. I'm much healthier physically and mentally than I used to be and I'm 1,000 times happier in my new life. And I'm making a lot more money too. My life is HEAVEN now whereas it used to be HELL when I was working for other people! If you are working for other people then you are really a slave. That's what it really is. Slavery still exists.

when my boss started his small plant in 1986, he got only one worker working for him, and only had one small machine to process very simple parts;

now he got 500 workers work for him and the yearly sales volumn is 10million dollors, the profit rate is 20%.

i am a chinese, i am in china.

and he quit school before finish his junior middle school, but his personality is very strong, when he makes up his mind to do something, he try very hard to do it.

Ｉ'm very agree with what you have said. The only problem is we stop ourself to success, no one will stop us. Go Go go

I feel that if your are a born entrepreneur, even if you don't experience success in your first business, you will keep trying until you do. You may go on working for someone else after a period of failure, but I feel as if a true entrepreneur will keep on gravitating back to creating more ventures until one of them works.

Try reading As You Think by James Allen. It was written 100 years ago, and touches on the same idea. Napoleon Hill in Think And Grow Rich is trying to express the same idea, I think, but garbles it considerably. Changing one's personality is a lot harder than joining a MLM, but it may be that some people are just not "born entrepreneurs" while some are.

Yes, but more importantly actually does what they are thinking about, I know people who sit around all day bouncing ideas and never do anything, accept go back to their office jobs.

I had a fantasy of becoming a rock star when I was a teenager, doesn't mean I can sing or play a guitar. Lots of people fantasize about becoming rich (not necessarily starting a business but being rich) with being their own boss a close second. People go to "motivational seminars" and act like they're on dope, then the high wears off and it's back to the office. Sometimes while they're "drugged" they'll sign up for an MLM scam, and then work it fruitlessly because they committed to it, until they give up and eat the loss. Most people don't have what it takes to become an entrepreneur.

Not many people know this, but Britney Spears worked her butt off to become a superstar. Her early teachers describe her as one of the most focused girls they'd ever met. It's not her fault that her potential was swallowed up by mental illness. Being a billionaire or being a rock star, it's the same commitment. Most people don't have the commitment.

It's easier to float along and envy the rich rather than be the rich. We've just ended the most incredible spate of wealth creation since the Gilded Age, with 1,000 billionaires just in America as opposed to 13 in 1982, and most people sat on the sidelines! Some people like me were too young to catch the wave. But most people had no excuse. They sat in a cubicle and whined about how unfair life is, instead of making billions of dollars. And THAT is why most people will never be entrepreneurs or rich. They would rather whine.
