Now, what is the difference between an entrepreneur and an investor?

Ok, this may be extensive but let’s talk about a few important points:

- An entrepreneur starts a business with the idea of staying in it until the end that is either a success or a failure. An investor enters into a business with the idea of leaving in the best of it and migrates to another investment opportunity.

- An entrepreneur follows a business plan. An investor follows an investment plan or financial plan.

- An entrepreneur will have revenue and earnings from his work as an entrepreneur. An investor will get revenues and profits from money invested (money working for him).

- Generally, if the business of an entrepreneur goes in bankruptcy and closes, the entrepreneur will lose much more than what an investor loses if one of their investment goes wrong (because of his diversify portfolio)

Make clear that many entrepreneurs end up being investors and many investors are also entrepreneurs. These are things that are very linked, but not exactly the same (as we saw before).

Note (and there are many examples of this) that entrepreneurs can become very successful, and if your way of life is more tied to this field then this is what you should look for: to be a successful businessman. If on the contrary you see the world from an investor point of view, then you should be a successful investor. Either way, as a successful businessman it’s likely that you become, eventually, in an investor.

Let’s begin our journey to become successful investors!
