Where are the entreprenuers on this discussion board? I hope out making money. :) I hope we can exchange ideas. What do you like about making money on your own? My first business was a great way for me to earn extra pocket money as a teenager. From then on, I enjoy seeing opportunities and trying to make them work... its like adrenaline. What do you like best about it?

what i like about being an entrep is that i don't have a boss to work for. i can do anything which i think is good for my job. i have a flexible time where i can not be late nor too early for work. since i choose my own time, i can work on my most convenient time. since i am more of a night person, i set my schedules around after lunch till the evening. another thing is that, i get to have all the earnings. i only have someone to share it with if i get someone to help me with the work. and my success depends mostly to me and how i will work for it.

i'm into computer rentals. and what i do most is to encode different works from students. there are times when they look for someone to type their thesis and other research works so they ask me to do it.

to be a successful entrepreneur, that person should be able to face whatever obstacles that will come, and there will be times that your faith and confidence in yourself would be challenged, that you have to face your fears, and at the same time, you have to be your own best friend, in a sense that you have to continuously motivate yourself positively in order for you to survive great challenges.

For me the best thing about being an entrepreneur is being able control my time while at the same time earning money out of it. Although being an entrepreneur is sometimes difficult, the opportunity of expanding my horizon is limitless. My talent is being used up not to create money for others but for myself.
