The principle reason folks don't become entrepreneurs is money. I put in a great business proposal in my local business center and they agreed that it was a very viable business. Unfortunately, they couldn't assist with financing so I couldn't raise the capital needed. This is the most common way business proposals die on the floor. Not a lack of initiative, a lack of money. To solve the problem, we need to improve access to financial resources early on in a persons life when they have the energy and freedom to start a business.
