8. Entrepreneur
Starting a business and being your own boss sounds tempting for many. But, people fail to understand that being an entrepreneur is an all-consuming struggle to keep the business afloat for the first year alone. The key to success in entrepreneurship is innovation and sticking to your guns. Amazon.com started out in the garage of Jeff Bezos’ Washington home with the aim of being an online bookstore way back in the 1990’s. Decades later, it is among the most powerful online retailers, minting revenues of over $177 billion. Hard work can make you a millionaire or better, a billionaire.
