Enterpreneurship
To the untrained eye, an entrepreneur may appear to be a person who has started his or her own business. While this is technically true, there's so much more to the journey of entrepreneurship than just bringing a business idea to fruition. It takes unwavering passion, dedication and innovation, and it's certainly not the right path for everyone. An entrepreneur is someone who seeks to profitably solve a problem that the world has, in exchange for enough monetary compensation to achieve their dreams.
[It doesn't] mean you won't read a book or work for a boss ever again. The most successful entrepreneurs spend time studying others' successes — what are their processes and daily methods, and how can I apply those principles to my own life and business?. To me, entrepreneurship is creating something, nurturing and leading it. It is a labor of love, guts and hard work.
There is more to it, and you will grow more than you could ever imagine. But it is not easy, and the road can be windy!.. I don't think anyone decides to be an entrepreneur; they simply reach the point where they can no longer not be an entrepreneur. Sure, it takes a certain type of individual and certain set of circumstances, but suddenly you have this sense of unwavering commitment and the belief that you can succeed. That sense is what I refer to as the yin and yang of the entrepreneur: the perfect balance of arrogance and stupidity.
Starting a business (and surviving) is really, really hard. You have to have the confidence that you can actually do it, and the stupidity to think you're right. Being an entrepreneur is not about love at first sight; it's about having an idea that intrigues you and increasingly pulls you In until you can no longer ignore it.
Entrepreneurs may blindly follow their passion but they are certainly not dumb. They choose to downplay the risks, underestimate the competition, and overestimate their talents because they are driven by an overwhelming curiosity. That commitment and passion is really what makes entrepreneurs who they are.
Great ideas are far more common than you think but the people who can turn the great idea into a company are incredibly rare. When those two abilities come together... that's the magic catalyst... A story which I admire is that of ferrucio lamborghini...To me, key factors to becoming a successful entrepreneur include passion and perseverance.. As Steve Jobs said "only people with passion can change the world".
