Anyone entering into the world of entrepreneurism must have what it takes to succeed; otherwise, all will be just an exercise in futility. It is imperative that a small business owner or a newbie entrepreneur comes in with a mindset, will, and determination to succeed. Jay Abraham puts it well:
He was a college drop-out who started a small business that revolutionized our way of doing business. In 1991, at the age of 35, he was listed among the Nouveau Riche masters of the world, along with Queen Elizabeth of England, King Fahd Bin Abdul-Aiz Al Saud of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Reichmann real estate magnates of Canada, among others. He was neither king nor selling real estate properties. He was simply offering an intangible product, sets of codes that ushered the era of personal computing, and the rest is history, some still in the making.
William Gates III, or commonly known as Bill Gates, founded the world’s largest software company –Microsoft. Today, more than two thirds of the world’s produced pc's still run on an imprint he created –the Windows OS (Operating System). In my mind, this self-made billionaire or Nouveau Riche is the epitome of real business success. He literally created wealth out of nothing. Hear him out and take heed:

From the very beginning –and much to our surprise –Microsoft was pretty successful. In large part, that was because we lived and breathed software, stopping only to eat and catch a few hours of sleep here and there. We were totally hard-core about succeeding right out of the gate.”
