Research Dispels Myth About Entrepreneurs

The commonly held belief that entrepreneurs are young college students working out of their dorms is simply wrong.  Rather, on average, they tend to be highly experienced, well-educated workers who have families. They have come to a stage in their lives when they are simply tired of working for others and want to build real wealth before they retire.
