Are You An Extreme Entrepreneur?

Does just creating a product make you entrepreneurial if you never do anything with it? What if you take someone’s product and make it a success? That is not entrepreneurial? At what point then are you no longer an entrepreneur? When are you no longer starting up?

The concept of business entrepreneurs leading innovation is appealing because it denotes more than just starting a business. So, we are people who open up major new possibilities in education, health, the environment, technology, social communication, and other areas of human need, “just as business entrepreneurs lead innovation in commerce, social entrepreneurs drive social change.”

One who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise.

Entrepreneur is a person who has decided to take control of his future and become self-employed whether by creating his own unique business or working as a member of a team. Entrepreneurs compete with themselves and believe that success or failure lies within their personal control or influence. Entrepreneurs are about loving their journey, not their destination. So, Are You An Entrepreneur?

Entrepreneur as Salesmanship Is a Way of Life
You need to invest your time, energy, money and resources in what you know and love. Every entrepreneur knows how to use several hats: the innovator, the team leader and motivator, the salesperson to communicate the benefits of your product and services, and even to finance the suppliers and clients. That´s why we see opportunities in everything we do.

What does the future of business look like? What YOU need to do as an entrepreneur to bring about the change that’s needed? The future of business is the future of technology. Technology is going to not only be with us for the rest of our lives, but will become even more integrated into everything we do. Think about it, why learning technology in today’s world is no different than learning how to write English was in North America 50 years ago.
