5 Things you should know before becoming an entrepreneur

Whenever entrepreneurship is mentioned the likes of Steve Jobs of Apple Inc, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, Richard Branson of Virgin Atlantic, Jack Ma of Alibaba, John Bezos of Amazon and Aliko Dangote of Dangote cement ring the mind. These are only but a few individuals who were fearless and started small while dreaming big.

Being an entrepreneur is a lonely road of setbacks, discouragement, failure after failure, brokenness only few can survive the journey, but with perseverance and persistence, anyone can reap big. Entrepreneurship is always compared with athletics; where you spend hours in the gym and in the track trying to beat the best time, you can do it, but you don’t beat the best time the first day you compete in the track. The more time you spend in the gym and in the track not only do you grow muscle but also you come closer to beat the best time.
