However, for this specific assignment, you will just need to schedule a meeting with an entrepreneur and conduct an interview with him/her.

For this interview, you will need to request that the entrepreneur interviewed address the following questions/issues:

• Why did you decide to start your own business?
• How did it feel to actually get your new venture up and running?
• What weresome of the challenges you faced in launching your new business venture?
• What are some of the rewards you have experienced as a result of starting your own business?
• If you had to do it all over again, what, if anything, would you do differently?
• In your opinion, what is the single most important key to success when launching your own business venture?
• What advice would you give to a young, aspiring entrepreneur like me?
• Can you addanything else that might help me as I examine the opportunity to become and entrepreneur?

In addition to these questions, you may (and I would encourage you to) add any other questions that you feel are relevant to your interview with your entrepreneur. For example, as follow-up (or probing) questions....such as "Why do you feel that is so important to starting a new business?" Try to get as much information from your entrepreneur as you can.
