www.504Experts.com The following was part of a guest lecture delivered by Chris Hurn, CEO and Cofounder of Mercantile Capital Corporation, to MBA students taking an Entrepreneurship course at Rollins College's Crummer Graduate School of Business. He got to tell his story to this group -- the story of how Mercantile Capital Corporation became a successful small business lender -- and used it to teach them some important things about entrepreneurship. When he sat down to prepare for the lecture, he identified 18 lessons for successful entrepreneurs and 4 reasons you (the proverbial "you") should become an entrepreneur. This video below is the first 8 lessons he outlined for the students. Spend a few minutes watching it, it'll be encouraging to you (and you might even learn a thing or two). Remember, this is just part one of a three-part series. we'll soon post the other 10 lessons for successful entrepreneurs (for a total of 18), as well as the list of 4 reasons you (anybody, really) should become an entrepreneur. Disclaimer The views and opinions expressed in this video are Chris', and may not reflect those of our other executives.
