The million dollar entrepreneur - replies batch 1

Posted on October 7, 2007

Following my Million Dollar Entrepreneur challenge I’ve got 2 answers so far:

Shawn Hessinger from bootstrapme.com asnwered the question here with the following:

Leave my current full-time job
Bring in enough-about $40,000 a year by my rough calculations-to support my family while building my business venture.

The challenge goes further to Tom Pick at WebMarketCentral Blog.

Jared Reitzin from Entrepreneur success blog also answered the challenge with the following statements:

In order for me to feel good about doing well in business, I need to accomplish a lot more than just increasing my wealth. For me, true success would be accomplished by making a large social impact that changes the way people do things.
The idea that your first million is the most difficult is true, but this is because a.) it takes a while to get to a million and b.) you are learning everything at the same time and trying to have the persistence to not give up when you make bad decisions and things go the wrong way. All successful entrepreneurs do not give up until they reach their first million, and when they finally get to their first million they think about how to get to five.
