Becoming a successful entrepreneur is no easy task, but it is something that can be very rewarding when achieved.  Often times it can be hard for upcoming entrepreneurs to get their idea off the ground, which is why talking with already successful entrepreneurs is such a great resource for anyone interested in starting their own business.   This week I had the privilege to sit down with serial entrepreneur Alex Lawrence who has launched several successful businesses and currently lives the entrepreneur lifestyle.  Read on to see just how he did it and what valuable advice he has for any upcoming entrepreneur who wants to do the same!

Digg.com founder Kevin Rose continues to be one of my favorite young entrepreneurs to follow.  I recently re-watched a interview that TechCrunch did with Kevin a few months ago and wanted to share it here for two reasons.  The first being that Kevin reveals a lot of details about how he took Digg from a small website to an internet sensation and explains all the steps in order, which is great for anyone looking for a real life example from an entrepreneur who has made it.  Second, it really helps to show that anyone  with a good idea and some hard work can make their dreams come true to say the least!


Maybe it’s just me, but I think often times we tell ourselves that no matter what we do we’ll never get to that level of success.  We often see that success as almost a whole different world that is out of reach!  The fact is though while it’s never easy,  it’s much more in reach than you might think. See for yourself!
