Here are some points that I feel have impacted me as I attempted to create my own business this semester. Good luck with your endeavors!
Find a Mentor
There are many entrepreneurs out
there. There are those that continue to innovate and create great and marvelous
things. We need to look for them for ideas and suggestions. Throughout this
semester we looked at Steve Jobs, Richard Branson and others like Robert
Kiyosaki. There is much to learn from these great entrepreneurs. Find a book by
or about a well-known entrepreneur. Be involved with what they teach, learn and
apply their lessons, and find ways to incorporate their lessons with your future
business.
Be Ready to Work for
Nothing
Something
that I learned from Robert Kiyosaki, was the idea of working for nothing.
Kiyosaki explains that as we work for nothing, we realize how rewarding working
for nothing can be. It will change one’s life and understanding of money. If we
work for nothing, we are then better prepared for the work, time and effort
into creating our business. This, in a sense, is serving. When we learn to
serve, we learn what it means to sacrifice. Sacrifice is going to be one thing
that you can look forward to when starting your business.
Dedication
Dedication,
determination, and commitment are very integral attributes for a successful
entrepreneur. As a business starter, we all will come across a lot of trials
and problems. If we find ourselves quitting, we may not have been dedicated
enough to our hopes and dreams. Richard Branson showed a lot of dedication,
determination, and commitment. He attempted to penetrate various markets and
industries with the Virgin brand. He found a lot of resistance, failures and
successes. He was determined to take a stand in a market that could prove to be
successful. In some cases, he wasn’t able to, but with some things, he was able
to do what he sought for.
