You should learn how to sell. Get a part-time sales job to develop your sales pitch. You have to learn how to talk to people in order to be successful in business.
Entrepreneur just means you went out into the market place and tried to make your OWN money.
So it can mean a million things, EXCEPT working for someone else as just an employee. If you work for someone else just for the paycheck, then you are not really an entrepreneur.
The definition is not crystal clear, and everyone will define it differently. So here’s some examples that I think most people would agree with:
McDonalds Cashier = Not entrepreneur
McDonalds Franchise Owner = entrepreneur
Bus boy at Chilis = not
Starting your own restaurant = entrepreneur
A little kid selling lemonade that he/she made = entrepreneur
Thinking of an idea of a product, going out and making it, then selling it = entrepreneur
Going out, getting a regular job, collecting a paycheck = not.
You need to develop basic knowledge of the different aspects of the field you are getting in, before taking the plunge. Having a good idea is not enough, many people have the dream, with no substance behind it. A franchise is probably the easiest route to venture into, as you have some support behind you. There will always be the risk of failure, but on the other hand; if you don’t buy a ticket, you won’t win the raffle.
You also need money. Without capital you will have trouble. Its possible to grow ‘organically’ with little capital (I should know!) but hard because you have to live on the income and hope to save some in order to invest.
First, I would recommend you master all the basics of business: Accounting, Finance, and marketing. Then you will need to develop a business plan. Stick with something you are interested in or enjoy doing. Then simply charge money. Being an entrepreneur can be tough, especially starting out. You will usually be doing everything in the business (labor, accounting, marketing, etc.) It can be tough, but hang in there & you will eventually succeed.

you have to be successful in all areas and not just concentrate on one.
