Personally,
an entrepreneur possesses the following: desire, knowledge, confidence,
creativity, hard work, big dream, and passion.
The question is, am I an entrepreneur? Let's enumerate:
1. Desire. An
entrepreneur must first have the desire to be an entrepreneur. You have
to want it in the first place, and everything starts from there. If you
don't want something, chances are you won't succeed in that something. I
want to be a successful entrepreneur and businessman. I want to improve
the lives of people thru my skills, creativity, and expertise. I want
it.
2. Knowledge.
An entrepreneur must have the knowledge in the field that he chooses.
He has to be an expert in the main thing that he wants to do, and he
also has to know a little bit about some things related to the
business. I am a civil engineer. I am an expert in my craft in the field
of construction, and I also know a bit of things about something else
like accounting, finance, marketing, and economics. And my purpose of
being in the MBA is to improve the skills that I need in business.
3. Confidence.
An entrepreneur has to believe in himself. He has to know that he is
good at what he does and that he can do everything he wants.
Self-confidence is a must in order for you to be brave and face the
challenges ahead. I am confident that I have the right knowledge in
engineering and construction. I believe that I can be better than anyone
else, and I have full confidence in myself that I can make it really
big.
4. Creativity.
An entrepreneur has to be creative. He has to think of new ways on how
to improve an existing thing, or has to be able to create something out
of nothing. He has to think outside the box in order to stand out from
the competition. I am a creative person. I loved to draw when I was a
child and I won several art contests during my grade school and high
school years. Until now, I still possess my creativity at work and in
school by standing out and thinking outside the box. I am also creative
in solving problems, either simple or complex. I always think of ways on
how to improve the existing procedures.
5. Hard Work.
An entrepreneur must have determination and hard work. He has to be
relentless in pursuing his dreams, and he has to be outside his comfort
zone. I am a hard worker. If I dreamt of something or if I have a
goal, I see to it that I will finish it on time and with quality. I
seldom sleep early and I always want to finish my work first before
going home, otherwise I won't be able to relax.
6. Big Dream.
An entrepreneur must think big. He has to dream bigger that what he
thinks he can do. His dreams must be limitless, and his dreams must
reach the stars. Everything starts with a dream. I have a big dream. In
fact, I think my dream is very big that most people might think that
dream is impossible. I am a dreamer, a big dreamer.
7. Passion.
An entrepreneur must possess a burning passion. Something inside him
must keep burning and pushing until he achieves what he pants. Passion,
enthusiasm, and love for what he does are what keep him working and
striving. Passion is the centre of all the characteristics of an
entrepreneur because without it, other characteristics will be nothing. I
have passion for buildings and for construction. I am passionate about
architecture and the art of it. And mainly, I am passionate about
improving the lives of people around me and the community.
These
are the factors of being an entrepreneur. With this, I truly believe
that I have what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur and I believe
that I can make it big. I believe that I will achieve my dream that most
people think are impossible.
I am an entrepreneur, period.
