If you have the entrepreneurial spirit – and the cash to make your ideas happen – there’s no end to the possibilities for an interesting and rewarding career as your own boss. Being an entrepreneur can mean anything from opening a restaurant to selling the products of your hobby to the public.
With hard work, smart marketing and a belief that the thing you make or service you provide is better than what’s already available, a successful business can be born. And a background in accounting, marketing and/or management can help you fulfill your dreams.
