If you pay attention to the headlines or follow the major business blogs, then you are well aware of the success stories of the professionals who have left their steady jobs to start their own business start-up. Sometimes, it’s a professor who starts a niche home internet-based business in California, while other times, it's a corporate executive who decides to retire early to become a part-time entrepreneur.
Finding the balance between your ambition and your career isn’t always easy, but with determination you can achieve it and make it big. The uncanny desire to get out of your cubicle and be your own boss is nothing new to our generation, but with the rise of the internet and digital technologies, more and more individuals are taking this path to be digital entrepreneur.
So what is a Digital Entrepreneur?
Entrepreneurship is not a new concept, and is an individual who has taken charge of their career and passions and has decided to start his/her own business. What type of business they decide to manage may vary, but these entrepreneurs fundamentally build their business utilizing the internet and other digital technologies.
Are you ready to be a Digital Entrepreneur?
Becoming an entrepreneur is no easy mission. It requires extensive planning, administrative work and resources to successfully start one's own business. But when do you know your time has come to make a move?
