Entrepreneurship: Are You the Right Person?

Do you think that you are the right person for entrepreneurship? Are you the person who can be a real entrepreneur?

Different forces force you to become an entrepreneur. However, are they the right forces that will bring long-term wealth to your new or future business?

One of the most important or influential forces that push people to become entrepreneurs is ensuring better life in the future. You want to earn more money with something you know more than others.

You want to transfer your hobby and passion for something into valuable business. However, is it enough for you to become a successful entrepreneur?

You want to be your own boss. But, to be the boss is different from your passion or hobby. Being an entrepreneur is not the same as being an employee and working for someone else.

As an entrepreneur, you’ll also have even more bosses who will manage your daily entrepreneurial activities and tasks.

Who Is the Boss to an Entrepreneur?

1. Your Customers

What do you think about your customers? Are they will be your new bosses?

You must solve their problems. You must fulfill their needs. You must listen to them and implement all their needs into your offer. If you don’t solve their problems, fulfill their needs, or listen and implement those needs into your offer, you’ll not have customers for your business. That means you’ll not have business at all.

A business without customers is not a business; entrepreneurs without businesses are not entrepreneurs.

2. Your Partners

Your customer is not the only boss you’ll have as a business owner. There are your partners, banks from which you take loan, friends, or family that gives you money for your startup.

3. Your Family

Do you think that your wife and children will not be your boss? You must explain to them why you can’t give them what they want because you must buy new devices to support your business.

What do You Need to Have if You Want to Become an Entrepreneur?

Your potential energy is important in your entrepreneurial path. If you want to become an entrepreneur, you must have knowledge and experience.

Your passion and hobby are not enough. Your commitment and money are not enough to become an entrepreneur. You’ll need to take a risk. You’ll need to do more different activities than you think. Also, you must market your products and services to find customers for your business. You must manage your employees. That means to plan their work, to educate and train them, to control them, to motivate them… Also, you’ll need to manage books. You’ll need to contact your accountant and lawyer. You’ll need to answer your customer’s complaints.
