Are entrepreneurs happy with what they are doing?

Posted by Unknown at 8:59 pm No comments :
There are a lot of assumptions about being an entrepreneur. Some would agree that being an entrepreneur gives you the time you want to do things you love. An entrepreneur means having the authority to make your own decision. Doing the things that you are passionate about. Successful entrepreneur will reap all the rewards in the form of satisfaction and monetary value. 

Isn't these good enough to make you a happy entrepreneur! 

But well, not to forget that being an entrepreneur is not an easy feat. Everything you heard about an ordinary man suddenly became an overnight millionaire is bullshit. Its very rare that such thing will happen overnight. 

My very honest truth is that startup is not simple. When you first started, you'll suffer the day and night thinking about your business because no one else will think on your behalf. You are the decision maker for your business, whatever rise and fall of your business is all totally on you. No supervisors or bosses are going to back you up should something bad happens, you got to solve it anyway. 

Now knowing all these, think again the same question...Are you happy now as an entrepreneur?

Oh hell yes! You are now doing something right from your passion. You have visualized your future and are halfway on the journey to invent your future. You are different from the typical 9-to5vers who are still making ends meet. You decide your own fate. What else is not to be happy about? 

People always get the equation wrong. They assume that all the stress and problem of doing your own business is not making you happy. In fact, it makes you angry, or worse drives you mad. If you agree with those people, maybe you are not an entrepreneur. You're just someone who's trying to create a business to survive. 

"True entrepreneurs are always happy at what they do, despite the troubles and stress they have to go through."

Have so many problems in your business? Well screw that. Bring it on! You're already halfway on your success journey, what's there to stop you??

4 Basic Rule Every Entrepreneur Should Practice

Posted by Unknown at 9:53 pm No comments :
Every year there are thousands of entrepreneurs born and ready to rule the world. And almost (yes, I mean almost all) of these successful entrepreneurs practice these FOUR RULES of entrepreneurship. I called it MINO. The big four of MINO are: Motivation, Innovation, Networking and Opportunity.

Motivation

This is the ground rule of being an entrepreneur. Every one of us always have to start somewhere, and it is MOTIVATION that push us forward. What motivates you to be an entrepreneur? Is it passion? Freedom? Get away from regular corporate life? Or family? 
You identify what is your motivation, and set a goal towards what drives you to be a successful entrepreneur. This is how you can reach where you want to be.

Innovation

It is the core of entrepreneurship. Especially during digital era where entering small business is too easy for everyone. Visit GoDaddy.com for a site, sign up with HostGator.com for a host, voila, you open for business!

Sometimes when things become too easy, its where the hardest problem arise. When everyone are doing the same thing doesn't make you any different with other entrepreneurs out there. Millions of them! 

Which is why we need innovation. How are we different from competitors? How to serve the customer the same thing in a different manner? 

Before Facebook, MySpace and Friendster used to dominate the social networking world. But Facebook stands out due to innovation. The creation of 'Newsfeed' is proven to be something out of the world. Offering the same service with innovation. That's how Facebook stands out.

Networking

Networking can be done with anybody. Seriously! As an entrepreneur, you should always start by sharing your success or problems with your family or close friends. Listen to them, get their support, this is what keeps entrepreneurs going. 

Even for some entrepreneurs, networking is parts and pieces of success in the business. Always know someone better than you and learn from experience of veterans who have 'been there, done that'.

“It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction.” - Warren Buffett

Opportunity

Every entrepreneur will always have to start somewhere. Where did you begin your journey as an entrepreneur? 

When an entrepreneur started their journey, its all because they have identify an opportunity. An unmet needs or new solution that can reach out to their customers. You could have all the motivation you can get, but without the opportunity to start a business, you are still standing at the beginning of the road.
