Entrepreneurship
The goal of every young man or woman even the old is to be successful in life, success is never achieved by accident, if you must be successful then you must go all out to work for it.
I always tell people that there is a very thin line between being successful and failing, in fact the best friend to success is failure, because after failing comes success, you can never be successful if you have not failed, successful men were ones failures that always believe that they are yet to get to their destination and their destination is not to be a failure
Having understood that not giving up in failing is the only way to achieve success, let's move futher in the foundation of success which is entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is creating a new, better and easier way to solving our everyday problems. for instance you work in a factory where they have to punch the calculator to calculate their daily sales, and these takes lots of time,
with lots of errors causing your company less loss daily, then you came up with a computer program that allows workers to calculate daily sales in seconds accuratly without mistakes, dnt you think the company will value you and forever be thankful to you, these probably will lead to either your promotion or increase in your salary, with your name in the history of the company as one of the greatest staff ever, thats entrepreneurship leading to success.
Tell me about any successful man an I will show you the entrepreneurship act he did, that brought him to success.
I will tell you a story before I end my writing but before then, the keys to becoming a successful entrepreneur are as follows
- Believe in yourself : never look down on who you are as a person, it's very important to note that you can achieve anything you can think of, never stop believing in yourself, your background, financial state, your family etc does not matter in this case scenario. Always believe
Because entrepreneurship is first achieved in the mind, once you start telling yourself, that you are if no good or you can't do it, you are already failing and can't become successful, number one step in conquering failure is confidence in yourself. If Obama can do it yes you can do it.
- Think : dnt rush, in anything you do, create out time to think, I know many persons will be assuming thinking is not necessarily but my dear, it very important in the success journey.
Create out time to think and meditat, think about
A,. Who am i
B. What am I called to this earth for (purpose)
C. What talent, gift (ability) do I have (most times if you cant lay hold of them ask your parents or very close friends). They can even be talking, managing etc
D. What is my passion
E. What do I love doing
F. What are the problem around me can I employ the answers gotten from a-e to solve.
And note take your time, you will not just get answers, it comes gradually and when it comes you know that yes this is the answer
I will encourage you to read books written on self discovering, self potential, becoming successful, how to unleash your potential, they are plenty in the market, few authors I know that are good

- Get a mentor : after discovering yourself and what problem you want to solve, start looking for a mentor, that is in line with your aspirations, you can get a physical mentor or get a mentor online or better still your mentor might just be someone you read about and you love their kind of success and want to achieve same, so you follow their every move you read online. Research more about them and follow their principles.
Start something : when you discover yourself and find out what problem you want to solve, start something, dnt wait to learn all the skills needed, just start something no matter how small.
Get friends : Find friends that share same dreams or friends that will help you achieve your goals and target, stay away from friends that discourages you or talk you down, friends that do not believe in you run far from them,
Get close to possitive people, not negative people.
Cultivate a possibility, positive mindset
Persistence : No matter what you encounter do not give up, the road must be tough, but never give up. When you are playing a war game, if you are meeting enemies/opposition you will know that yes I am in the right direction, but along the game you discover that where you are heading to is just too quiet and free you will start wondering if you are really getting it.
Descipline, hardwork and prayers
You can never do it alone. If you want to go fast do it alone but if you want to go far do it with a team or someone.
Plan your self, get a time table. You can't do everything so place priorities on the things you know will yield more results first.
The story will come in my next write up.
