The Young Entrepreneurs I Know

Where entrepreneurs meet is a place where wells of wisdom are dug,  fetched from and enough still sprouting because wells of wisdom don't dry, only in a case whereby the owner of the brain decides to be dormant. Entrepreneurs are people who set up businesses,  taking on financial risks in the hope of profit. We had few of them in time past, but recently, the scarcity of white collar jobs has driven people to the knowledge of entrepreneurship. Some schools have it as part of their curriculum,  while it has been approved as a department in some institutions.

It is easy to join an existing job network, but to start up a new chain requires; consistency, drive, passion, risks taking and focus.

Consistency: A good entrepreneur must possess stability,  constancy, regularity, uniformity, equilibrium, unity. And also be steadfast adherence to the same principles,  course, form and harmony of conduct or practical with profession.

Drive; An entrepreneur has to have what is driving him/her, an innate, biologically determined urge to attain a goal or satisfy a need.

Passion:An entrepreneur must possess a strong and barely controllable emotion towards the focal point.

Risk Taking: He must possess the act or fact of doing something that involves danger or risk in order to achieve a goal.

Focus: He must have the centre of interest or activity,  a rate or having quality of having or producing a good visual.

We always aspire, but taking the step seems quite difficult. Every dream has a price, and every price, profit and reward. The aforementioned dreamt and chose to transform their dreams into reality, hence quiting the dream world. Are you still dreaming? Quit the dream world and cease to be one of the depositors of talents to the grave. The grave is the richest place on earth, because so many dreams and talents have been buried in it, so take a step today.
