What makes an Entrepreneur ??


The two elements are very common in the Entrepreneurial world. Time and money; time and money; time and money! This is all entrepreneurs hear!

You have to invest a lot of time and money to make your business work!
 I do not entirely agree with that common statement, but there is some truth to it. The point is, we as new entrepreneurs need to (at the risk of promoting a clich) THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

Honey, you would be thinking, WHATS THE POINT? GET TO THE POINT!!

 The point, my fellow business community members, is that if you/me/us/we ONLY invest time and money into a project, we are extremely limited in our choice of investment. The entire premise of being an entrepreneur is that we do not fall in line; we do not conform to the conventional; and we break boundaries and borders in order to pioneer an idea, product, or state of mind!


It all comes down to two things, Having an idea and executing it.

Last week I met a group of kids and asked them what they thought an entrepreneur was. Some said "Risk Taker", "Runs their own Business", "Business Owner", etc…But one answer stood out – "They Make Things Happen."

At the end of the day the one thing entrepreneurs all have in common is the ability to make things happen. From selling Groceries online (an indication to my new venture) to imparting training online; Born or Made – It all comes back to the drive and ambition required to make things happen.

I want to finish by getting back to what we were really talking about here – I think that entrepreneurs can be both products of circumstance (made) and can be the kind of person who just WANTS that life (born).
