Do you have what it takes to grow an idea into a successful business? So you know what it takes to be an entrepreneur? Well, I came across an interesting post called 12 Facts about Entrepreneurs That Will Likely Surprise You that outlines some interesting facts about successful startups. Here are some interesting facts to get you started:

  • The average and median age of company founders when they started their current companies was 40.
  • 95.1 percent of respondents themselves had earned bachelor’s degrees, and 47 percent had more advanced degrees.
  • Less than 1 percent came from extremely rich or extremely poor backgrounds

There’s more where that came from, and can be interesting whether you’re into directory submission or building an airline business. Read all about it here.
