Are You Really An Entrepreneur????

Every entrepreneur with a Big Idea has some trepidation about leaving the security of a salaried income.

Starbucks' Howard Schultz took a huge pay cut to get his "feet wet" initially as Starbucks' head of marketing. But, he really stepped out of his comfort zone in launching his own company, betting that Americans would enjoy espresso served right in stores, as he had during his trip to Italy.

He knew that making the decision was a milestone event - one that would affect the rest of his life, and that of his young family. He also knew that he had to try.

The fear of regret is a powerful motivator for moving beyond any qualms...and taking action. Those with an entrepreneurial spirit don't want to look back on their lives and regret not stepping out of their comfort zones, missing the opportunities that could have changed the course of their lives for the better.
