Everything You Need to Know to be an Entrepreneur - ROBERT FETNER
BY ROBERT FETNER
CHAPTER 1
Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. If you're lazy and don't have a lick of common sense, then it is definitely not for you. If you’re ambitious, hard working, creative, self-motivated and have good common sense, then you may have what it takes to be your own boss.
I have always had a vivid imagination, always thinking. Once I discovered that having money was nice, I was constantly thinking of ways to make it. I always wanted to have my own business. Working for someone else just never attracted me, mainly because I don't like taking orders or being bossed around. My first business began when I was 14 or 15. We were living in the Republic of Panama and had just come back from vacation in New York . I was Karate crazy so my Dad took me to Madison Square Gardens to see Aaron Bank's big martial arts demonstration (Oriental World of Self-Defense).

It was pretty sad, maybe twenty bikes or so. No carpet, no decorations, just a plain cement floor and some bikes and a repair room in the back. The location was good. I got to talking to the owner, an older gentleman, about bikes. I rode a lot and fixed my own bikes; I was a recreational cyclist. The old man said he was having a lot of health problems and wanted to sell the business. If I was interested, he'd give me a good deal—$3000—for the whole thing. Hell yeah! I was interested, but I didn't have $3000 much less $500, but I
