Introduction to Entrepreneurship
Reasons for becoming an Entrepreneur
The profile of an Entrepreneur
------------------
What is Entrepreneurship?
The word entrepreneur originates from the french word entreprendre, which means "to undertake".
for definition see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrepreneur
Why Entrepreneurship?
- Sheer love for something
- Wanting to reach full potential
- Value Independence – freedom to take autonomous decisions
- Feel limited in a Job
- Strong Social Cause
- For the fun of it
- Sense of Empowerment
- Recognition
- Profits
- Opportunity to do what they want
- Opportunity to create one’s own destiny
- Layoffs in industry are also a trigger
--------------------
Entrepreneurial Profile
- see potential in disguise
- value achievement
- love for independence
- risk taker
- great confidence
- I can do better attitude
- Desire for responsibility
- Want immediate results
- Ability to organize
- Ability to correlate
- Willingness to jump into things
- Flexible, trying many ideas
- Tenacity (keep trying)
- High Energy Level
Please note that there is no such thing as true entrepreneurial profile. The points above are only indicators. Entrepreneurs come from variety of educational backgrounds, family situations and work experiences. No one set of characteristics can guarantee success. Variety and diversity seems to form the core characteristics of Entrepreneurs.
