Is this a term you relate to? I just read a really good article called "7 Lessons from Building a $15-Million-a-Year Lifestyle Business with No Loans, VCs or Angel Money".
I suppose I relate to the entrepreneur title a bit. I have to really work at staying focused on one venture at a time - one vehicle at a time in fact! I have dabbled in online business, shares, forex etc. Property is where my heart is (read; my passion) and I just have to make sure my flightly sense doesn't deviate too much. I think you can build lasting wealth with just about anything - as long as you are focused and don't give up.
This bit really stood out for me:

The problem with business plans is that they get you focused on the minutia rather than the vision.
Start with a vision. Preferably, in the words of Joe Vitale: ?One that SCARES you a little and EXCITES you a lot.?
Then develop a model to make that vision a reality. Work tirelessly towards building a beta ? but be prepared to test, pivot and move rapidly as you learn. In the words of Steve Blank: ?No business plan survives first contact with customers.?
Get out there and test, hustle, sell and grab customers. Quit planning and start doing.
