I'm not sure that self-employment counts as entrepreneurship, but one can certainly succeed in becoming self-employed, provided that one is in an economic niche that has enough demand and one is qualified to supply that demand. I've been doing it for over 20 years, though I'm certainly not getting fabulously rich, which is no doubt the dream of most would-be entrepreneurs. :-)

Ain't that the truth!
