The Entrepreneur

A quick summary of entrepreneurism

The modern definition of the word Entrepreneur can be described as a person who has possession over an enterprise, or venture, and assumes significant accountability for the inherent risks and the outcome. Wikipedia Definition of Entrepreneur

In common understanding it is taken as describing a dynamic personality and someone who attempts to organize resources in new and more valuable ways and once more, completely accepts full responsibility for the outcome. Dictionary Definition of Entrepreneur

FIND YOUR LIGHT!!

We as humans naturally organize resources vital to our lives in new and more valuable ways in order that we may reach certain and specific outcomes, especially if those outcomes are directly related to our well being and survival. For example, we organize our mental resources to apply and compete for specific types of jobs. We make the choice to do this so that we may earn the income necessary to secure for ourselves a lifestyle suitable to our chosen comforts and desires. Another example can be found in our choosing to go to college. Here, we seek specific training, or take certified courses with a personal/business development company, so that we may become more valuable to our employers and in turn more valuable , successful, and ultimately needed by our companies. Some of us make this choice to be reliable to ourselves and our families. We make many decisions and ultimately we must live with them and their outcomes. In short we are all risk takers and in business for ourselves, and so we are in a way, all entrepreneurs of a sort, seeking to capitalize on the ever emerging opportunities and resources that we continually see come before us. Robin Sharma alludes to a certain parallel so well when he describes humans as their own corporation and labels us as Humans Inc., so too with Earl Nightingale and Brian Tracy, when they envision us as CEO's of our own personal lives.



It is our belief that we are all responsible for this personal venture/enterprise known as our life. The reason this metaphor is preferred over others and related to so well, is because it captures most completely the essence of the human life; which can be seen as an adventure, a journey, a place of risks, and an environment that is continually changing, becoming, and evolving. Businesses come and go but the entrepreneur always remains.

....So Go Find Your Own LIght!!!

Entrepreneurism is:

Creativity + Systems + Adds Value = Entrepreneurism

TAKE CONTROL

"Make Your Mark"

Our world is in a constant state of flux and sometimes the only thing that seems certain is uncertainty. And so...It is with this thought that myself and other empowering entrepreneurs like UnleashingIdeas.org are encouraging people to take control of their own destinies and seize their moment. We insist that you begin to seek your purpose, follow your passions, and begin setting up from home, utilising the skills you've acquired over the years form all those unique situations you've experienced and from those college courses you loved but thought you'd never be able to apply to your career and start funneling them it into any enterprise you fancy or want to create, the future is in your hands, Carpe Diem! TAKE CONTROL!!
