Monica Eaton, Co-Founder and COO of Chargebacks911, was asked to contribute to Recruiter.com’s recent article regarding 7 myths about entrepreneurship.

As part of their Recruiter Q&A platform, several business executives were asked to contribute what they thought were some of the biggest myths about being an entrepreneur. Specifically, the question of the day was: What, in your opinion, are some of the most common misconceptions about being an entrepreneur?
Monica and her fellow experts were asked why these misconceptions are wrong, and what truth that potential entrepreneurs should know. As she pointed out, entrepreneurs are not born, but rather are created.
“Lots of people seem to have this notion that the entrepreneurial attitude and skillset comes naturally, that entrepreneurs are simply ‘born with it,’” Monica explained. “While that may be the case for some, I would say that for most people, developing what it takes to be successful is a long, hard process.”
She elaborated that failure and stress will come with the territory. But, these are essential parts of the journey.
“To become a fully-vetted entrepreneur, you will need to keep pushing yourself to grow and learn. Most importantly, you need to refuse to give up. Ultimately, in almost all cases, great entrepreneurs are made, rather than born.”
