An entrepreneur is one who organizes a new business venture in the hopes of making a profit. Entrepreneurship is the process of being an entrepreneur, of gathering and allocating the resources—financial, creative, managerial, or technological—necessary for a new venture’s success. One engages in entrepreneurship when one begins to plan an organization that uses diverse resources in an effort to take advantage of the newly found opportunity. It usually involves hard work, long hours, and, usually, the hope of significant financial return. More importantly, entrepreneurship is characterized by creative solutions to old or overlooked problems; ingenuity and innovation are the entrepreneur’s stock in trade. By taking a new look at difficult situations, the entrepreneur discerns an opportunity where others might have seen a dead end.

Entrepreneurship is also a source of more entrepreneurship. Societies around the world have always been fueled by the innovations and new products that entrepreneurs bring to the market. All big businesses started out small, usually as one man or woman with a good idea and the willingness to work hard and risk everything. While it is true that many new businesses fail, the ones that succeed contribute a great deal to the creation of other new ventures which leads, in turn, to a dynamic national economy. Indeed, today’s economists and business researchers cite entrepreneurship as a key component of future economic growth in North America and around the world. “Entrepreneurship is viewed as the catalyst to transfer a segment of our new generation of [downsized] people into self-employed business owners who will, in turn, provide jobs for the rest,” wrote Mitch Lenko in CMA. “It is viewed as the necessary component to the creation of new wealth; and hopefully represents the fountainhead from which will spawn innovative management techniques for the design, manufacture and marketing of products that will compete globally.”

Successful entrepreneurship depends on many factors. Of primary importance is a dedicated, talented, creative entrepreneur. The person who has the ideas, the energy, and the vision to create a new business is the cornerstone to any start-up. But the individual must have ready access to a variety of important resources in order to make the new venture more than just a good idea. He or she needs to develop a plan of action, a road map that will take the venture from the idea stage to a state of growth and institutionalization. In most instances, the entrepreneur also needs to put together a team of talented, experienced individuals to help manage the new venture’s operations. Entrepreneurship also depends on access to capital, whether it be human, technological, or financial. In short, entrepreneurship is a process that involves preparation and the involvement of others in order to exploit an opportunity for profit.

Surely you also happened that you wanted to venture into your own business, but the obstacles that life presents you with the day to day you have not been allowed to progress in any way, and made you lose all your focus and enthusiasm in getting this project that both crave and ends up being on the shelves of your brain, dying there, gathering dust like so many of your other life projects. For truly I tell you before the whole enterprise needs first of all PASSION, understood this as being in love with soul, life and heart of what we really want to achieve.

Entrepreneurship lets you know how far are you able to get to achieve that dream of creating company.
An accelerator of this passion is precisely the motivation, which gives us the momentum needed to continue daily hard, with enthusiasm, courage, determination and perseverance to all those activities necessary to succeed. And it is precisely the motivation that leads to action. It almost becomes something very obvious, because if there is some incentive motivation, our efforts are completely futile, empty, without any grace.
That’s why enterprising friend, that before venturing to do your business plan , you fill in all the motivation to do so. You should really think about what they want in life, what motivates you, what is your purpose in life. Not only that, you should go with you, surround yourself with people with good energy, which encourage and invite you to permanently achieve your goals, build your business. These people will be there to scream phrases like, “Take heart, you can!, Keep going!, You’re doing great!, Among many others that may occur.
Connect with these people is fundamental in achieving your goals and do not fill you with envy and bad energy that is evidenced by the people who act as “scissors”, ie cutting the wings at all like you and I have the ability to dream, be visionary, but also with a firm commitment to bring those dreams to reality, since a vision without action is just a dream.
I invite you to do an exercise, which will undoubtedly enhance every day and will connect from the moment you wake up with good energy.
The exercise is as follows:
1. Every day when you wake up, I invite you to connect with gratitude. Write on a piece of paper everything you can think of why you should be grateful. Example: I am grateful for my life, for the pleasant evening to pass, my family, etc. And so on.
2. Then virtualízate as you want to see when you reach your dream. Write in the same sheet of paper as you are seeing now that you’ve reached the goal, now that you’ve reached your goal. Example: I feel very happy, I’m surrounded by my family, etc.. And so on.
3. Get an intention for this new day ahead. Write on that same sheet, you want to do your day today, how you want that day. Build you that day, do not let the cares, the races and “lack of time” take 24 hours so valuable that God has given us, which has given him. Example. Today I will do my polls niche market, today I will write the business description of my business plan, etc. And so on.

This afternoon I visited a company where the paperwork needed to pick up a client to whom I am selling a property. Get rushed as at about 13:40 hours, I go and see out the window to the other side is the receptionist. With a jovial smile knowing that I sought the Lord Diego Rueda (fictional). She sees me contemptuously and without a word I said with your free hand that I must speak over the intercom.

Note then that she was having lunch and I was a nuisance for its “tranquility.” Since I had much time to pause and reflect, I proceeded to call the unit thinking that she would give me a reason. My surprise was that I answered a third person, who asked for Mr. Wheeler. He said that at one point I would attend.

Wait maybe 8 minutes, standing in the doorway, watching the receptionist’s face used to have lunch with poorly paid who hates his job and finally I opened the door.

Between and decorate the waste of bad service, the receptionist did not even say good afternoon, do not apologize or try to at least explain that I was having lunch and therefore I could not attend the best way. Expected at least something like that but no, it happened. Read the rest of this entry »
