Guide to be an entrepreneur
We spend at least one fourth of our lives dreaming. Dreams of our beautiful and surprising future, yet to unfold and lay its hands on us. Dreams which know no boundations, mirror of another world. Whatever we see today has also been the dream of someone, the entrepreneurs of their fields.
Off course its not just day dreaming that makes an entrepreneur. It's the untiring hard work and the utmost faith that they have in their abilities which makes their dreams come true.
People called Bill Gates over- confident and revolutionary when he predicted that "there would be a computer in every home with MICROSOFT software in it". But today whichever computer you use- Dell, Compaq, IBM, Gateway, or some other brand- you almost certainly use MS windows as your Operating System. And even if you have an Apple Macintosh computer, you may use Microsoft program on it. Bill was a born entrepreneur, ready to go to any length to achieve his goals.
He teaches us that if you want anything ("from- sole leadership to great profits") from the core of your heart, no matter how difficult you will get it provided you are ready to spend sleepless nights, days with no food, a 100 % devotion. May be everything turns wrong, may be everybody is against you, may be you try anything but fail, may be time is taking revenge but if you are with yourself and you have a strategy then you are bound to win.
A boy, who woke up at 3:30 in the morning to sell newspapers, slept in the class-room, again having to sell newspapers and taking care of the animals in the evening at an age of 12, should not have thought of becoming an entrepreneur. But we are glad that he did and gave us not only the first ever animated feature film but our dear Mickey-Mouse and thus a whole new Entertainment Empire. Yes, you guessed it right Walt Disney!
He has seen all that any entrepreneur can probably see in his single life. From being bankrupt to betrayals, from being broke to being sacked. From being homeless to being an uncrowned prince of Disney land. From being unknown to become a history. His success can be attributed to just one word COURAGE. It's very easy to give up dreams but all the more difficult to live through each and every atrocity that pursuing your dreams provide. Every one has eyes but entrepreneurs have vision. It's this vision that helps them to see the greatest challenges as their greatest strengths.
Reading about so many entrepreneurs or getting a management degree is of practically no help to a real entrepreneur. As very lock has its own unique key, every entrepreneur has his own problems whose solutions he himself has to find. There is no book in the world that can be a true guide to entrepreneurship. You yourself have to find out how to pay your employees when you yourself are penniless? What to do when your every employee has left you including the one you most trusted? How to take risk when you have even not tried putting your hand out of a moving train? Oh! Don't be afraid because if you have already chosen the road not taken you will find the way
