So You Want to Be an Entrepreneur, then Act on Your Dream
Posted on November 16th, 2008
An entrepreneur often defines as the one who organizes and assumes the risk of a business. It simply states that, entrepreneur is the one who loves risks in order to give his market something new or provide better services whether it will patronize or not. It is not easy to be an entrepreneur, unless there is passion, hard work, determination and positive attitude during challenging times especially here in the Philippines. What I also love from them is that, they have something unusual, they think differently than normal people would- of course, in a positive way.
Leah Larson is a young entrepreneur. She never really thought that she would be a businesswoman. She starts her business at the age of twelve but he never decided to have a business at that time. What she wanted is to have a magazine for Jewish girls and it happened that there’s no one selling that kind of magazine. She created her own. Eventually, after she released her first issue it became a hit because many girls like her wanted the same magazine. She noticed the need of her fellow teenage girls and it became her target market and since there is no competitor, she quickly grabs the opportunity.
It all started with a dream. But acting on that dream is the hardest part. Sometimes, when you say what you want to others you ended up criticizing and they doubt that you’ll succeed. Just believe in your idea and make it happen.
Leah values her time a lot. A famous saying said, “Time is Goldâ€. In fact, every second counts for her, she do not procrastinate and that why she succeed.
She also considers the advice given by people. One of the characteristics of an effective entrepreneur is being an open minded because having an open mind will let you see opportunities that other may not see.
The most important attitude for being an entrepreneur is having a positive mindset, it is the key to a successful business. Thinking that trials are just trials needed to overcome will make you fall in love with your business and will eventually think your business is not a mere business but an activity that makes you satisfied plus the fact that it gives you pennies.
