hey people,
I was recently at a conference with my colleagues and heard from one of the best entrepreneurs in my business the best explanation of what defines an entrepreneur. Most people use the word entrepreneur very loosely and I think the following will clear things up.
An Entrepreneur is:
1. personal growth
2. always learning
3. looking for opportunities everywhere
4. seek the advice of qualified people
5. Invest in your future
6. is willing to pay a price
7. Support your own business
8. develop others
9. a blessing to your community
10. always developing people skills
11. An ambassador for your business
12. Take responsibility
13. understand that for each adversary he carries with him the seed of equal benefit
14. Has long-term thinking
15. knows that success is the progressive realization of a worthwhile effort
16. Set goals and work to achieve those goals.
Entrepreneurs create jobs and fuel the economy
This is the most concise collection of the characteristics of an entrepreneur I have ever heard and is truly the heartbeat of what characteristics are necessary to succeed as a business owner. The entrepreneur is a rare breed. It takes grit and determination to manifest greatness in one’s life. It takes the ability to lead others and sometimes to be humble.
In today’s society, entrepreneurship is almost looked down on by the average Joe or Jane and here’s why. People don’t believe enough in themselves, so when someone stands out from the crowd and tries to do something great and above average with their lives, they are scorned. An entrepreneur learns to stand above the crowd and keep going. Entrepreneurs have a burning desire backed by faith and determination; A winning combination that every worthwhile effort demands for its complete realization.
