In this business world, the word “entrepreneur” can mean many things. We often think of mavericks. We think of people with vision. We imagine people with a lot of passion for their ideas. We think of people who like to be their own boss, and other people’s boss. We visualize people who want to create something of quality. We think of people who might manage on the side of micromanagement. And often we think of people who are smarter than us.

But a recent Ezine Article by Ken Bissonette makes an interesting point:

Entrepreneurs are ordinary people with an idea that will be sold as a product or service to another ordinary person like you and I.

Now that kind of person doesn’t seem so out of touch. Not quite so glamorous. Not quite so ethereal.

Is it really that simple to be an entrepreneur? Maybe not, but I think his point is well taken. If you have a product that people want to buy, you’ve got the beginnings of a small business.

Frankly, it’s easy to be an entrepreneur in America. The challenge is being a successful entrepreneur. One strong quality of successful small business owners is they know how to make their small business look like a big business. Email fax is a perfect example of how a small business, operating from someone’s home computer, can be perceived as a large business with an office with office supplies, like a fax machine.
