I've never met any 'succesful entrepreneurs' in the sense of someone who is amazing famous etc.

I do however, know two people who have built very succesfull business for them selves and have very comfortable lifestyle.

The first one, an ex-employer of mine, was given a small promotional company from his parents when he was in his early 20's. After taking over and 4 or 5 short years later, he has managed to turn a company of about 3 -4 employees to a 'mega-group' owning the original promotional company, logistics company, packaging company, two international arms and other specialty start ups. His now wife is also a very astute entrepreneur and from a very young age, started a recruitment company, sold it for a very big profit, and now runs a few different social networking and community group type things... they both have many investment properties and live comfortable lives.... all before they are 30.

I have met many a person who I would call an entrepreneur, whether they call themselves one is another thing.

My ex employer was also an entrepreneur, from the age of 25, they started a company on the back of a beer mat in a pub and have grown it to become a multi million dollar business, both he and his wife live comfortably in a blue chip suburb in a $5m house, occasionally fly to their property in Italy and are often seen driving their Porsche or SL 55 on the great ocean road down to their beach house. They also have a number of blue chip investment properties throughout Australia.

Just because they haven't written a book, been on tv, or speak at seminars etc.. doesn't mean they are not an entrepreneur!
