Abstract :
What are you waiting for? You have great ideas and as an engineer, you know how to keep learning and adapting your skills to the marketplace. You have watched everyone around you become successful entrepreneurs, yet something is holding you back. Is it the fear of risk or, worse, the fear of failure? Many entrepreneurs don´t start their first venture until they are older, have a home, and a family. Women tend to avert risky ventures and will sacrifice a potentially prosperous future for a failsafe path that seems more stable. What does it take to become an entrepreneur, and what is the mindset that one needs to finally take the leap and start a new venture?
