Where to Begin?
Entrepreneurship seems to be, in one sense, the “best kept secret” of this world. We live most of our lives so that we can become a good employee. Our school systems preach about going to school and getting good grades so that you can work for a good company. We are usually brought up by our parents being told that you need to go to a good college to get a nice stable job. And if you have a spouse or family they will expect you to have a job to make a living. It is a societal norm in this world to have a job and work as an employee.
Entrepreneurship at its initial stages can be difficult for the first time entrepreneur. This is due to many of the societal norms that you will have to face. Many times your parents or your family will object to your intentions on becoming an entrepreneur. They will think it’s too risky. Your friends and colleagues may also discourage you. Or they will just expect you to fail. And even you have to change your own mindset if you have been an employee for quite some time. It’s a whole different set of rules to pay the game of entrepreneurship.
For this reason, you should begin the journey of entrepreneurship to see if you are indeed ready for the dip into this new and exciting world. Entrepreneurship has its huge benefits and great rewards, but at the same time there are also risks involved. You will need to begin by understanding what entrepreneurship is all about, and see if this is the right time to start out your own business.

Who is the Webmaster?
My name is Tim Thomas, and I am a serial entrepreneur myself. I have started out many of the businesses in the articles that you will be reading, so a lot of the articles are based on my own personal experiences. Entrepreneurship and education are my passions in life, and I love to create business as well as help others start out their own businesses. As I recently sold some of my business enterprises, I felt that it would be my next step to start out a website to help out fellow entrepreneurs start out their own businesses.
Personal credential wise, I attended the University of Southern California and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. After undergraduate studies, I also went to USC’s graduate program, studying in their Master’s in Business Tax program, alongside a special certificate in Entrepreneurship. After obtaining the certificate in entrepreneurship, I knew that owning a business was what I wanted to do. So I dropped out of the Master’s in Business Tax to start out a business. The rest is history. I now have three very successful businesses that I own, two web-based businesses, started a non-profit organization, and looking to build more. I am also licensed as a bartender, a chef, an insurance agent, a used car dealer, a real estate broker, a grants writer, and a travel agent. And lifelong entrepreneurship and education are my passions.
