An entrepreneur is something that most people aspire to be. It is ideal to be your own boss and allow your own ideas to come life and be successful. It might seem like the dream, but achieving success as an entrepreneur might happen later in life for most. Here are the key takeaways from the above infographic.

Colonel Sanders
Many people assume that in order to be a successful entrepreneur you have to start at a young age and always make the correct decisions. This might be the dream scenario, but it is not the reality for most. Creating a successful business takes time and it often begins with many failures. Trying your hand at being an entrepreneur is likely not your first endeavor. Harland Sanders who is known as the Colonel Sanders did not have success as an entrepreneur until the age of 62. He actually lost his job as a lawyer during a courtroom brawl with a client. He took this embarrassment and actually began his own service station in Kentucky that is still one of the largest fast food chains around today.

Robert Noyce
He was a graduate of MIT that was always looking for just the right tech venture. He was never afraid to try, but this did not always lead him to success. After numerous failed attempts, he finally stumbled upon Intel in 1968. This is a company that he launched with Gordon Moore when he was in his early forties. His persistence paid of, because he ended being worth billions.

Ray Kroc
