These tips are great. Of course, as a book writing coach, I’m partial to number 16–the entreprenette who became an author! Even a seasoned entrepreneur can get lots of useful tips from here. I found the “Don’t outsource” tip interesting and somewhat controversial. I think it’s true that one shouldn’t outsource too soon or too much and that one should always weigh whether outsourcing a particular task will bring in revenue or save enough time to justify. But once your business grows, strategic outsourcing becomes key to growth.

#75 is my favorite reason (taking control of your destiny). IMO, “job security/stability” has become a myth. The only job security there is these days is what you build yourself, ie, start a business.

With the economy being what it is today, it simply amazes me that more people don’t turn to entrepreneurship instead of looking for a job — especially as it can be so cheap to start one nowadays.

Just my 2 cents; great post!

Some very inspiring stories. I think being an entrepreneur is the truest form of expression. There are a lot of rewards available to those willing to take risks and work hard.
