We’ve all heard the stories of start-ups that had their origins in dorm rooms or garages and are now publicly-traded companies that are raking in billions. The possibility of similar success can lure many people into trying their hands at creating their own companies and going after their dreams. And, being an entrepreneur can be a highly rewarding experience – it gives you the opportunity to follow your passions, be your own boss, and set your own schedule. It also provides you with valuable challenges that allow you to use your strengths, stretch yourself in ways you may not have anticipated, and become incredibly resourceful.
