I think it is a person that takes a chance in organizing a business; risking their money to earn more money than what they started with. America is surrounded with entrepreneurs, some are small risks and many are risking everything they own. Most entrepreneurs are under- funded and 51% do not survive after their 2nd year. Think of a local shopping centers that offers: a 7 11 store, Nails/Spa, Pizza, Sub shop, a local Diner or Restaurant, etc. totals 5 entrepreneurs that invested their savings into a business: risking all of their money. You can find 4, 5 and more businesses in your neighborhood, all thinking they can do a job better than the failed Entrepreneur before them. I have learned the following steps are necessary to succeed: A business requires the following: 1. Start with a Business Plan, a must. 2. Sales Forecast, monitor closely, daily, monthly. 3. Funding Flexible: best Case and worst Case 4. Relying on friends and family for funding are risky and can cause years of frustration; last resource. 5. Leadership: Don’t demand a successful task unless you can do it yourself. 6. Make decisions quickly, Do Not Procrastinate 7. Find a business you like, no love. 8. Be willing to work late at night and arrive early in the morning. 9. First in....Last out..... of Business! 10. Entrepreneurs are what makes Capitalization work in America; cherish the Opportunity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people call me The Jackdaw. If they don't, I tell them they probably should. Meet fifteen-year-old Jack 'Jackdaw' Dawson, a young man with a serious plan. Daydreaming in class one day, Jack is hit over the head with an idea so blinding, so extraordinarily visionary and so downright fantastic he knows it can't fail. It's his ticket out of school - an app that will stop you from getting into trouble for daydreaming in class (ahem...) Fame, glory and tons of money seem just around the corner - but then Jack runs into a few problems. First of all, his warring parents are determined to push him into a career of their choosing (mum says office, dad says factory) without much thought as to what Jack might actually want. Secondly (and quite importantly) Jack doesn't know the first thing about making apps, and the only person who does wants nothing at all to do with Jack. That is, unless he does her a favour... which leads to someone else needing another favour, then another and another - until Jack finds himself sat upon a very precarious pile of promises to a whole bunch of random people. Can the Jackdaw complete his scheme, or is this too much for even his superior brain to cope with?
