10. ENTRPRENEURSHIP
DEFINATION.
Entrepreneurship can be defined as the
capacity and willingness to develop,
organise and manage a business venture
along with any of its risks in order to make a
profit.
This involves identification f opportunities,
evaluate them as viable, and then decide to
exploit. The opportunity is developed by
Entrepreneur to new products, services, firm
to create wealth.
12. ENTRPRENEURSHIP
CHARACTERISTICS.
The characteristics of a successful entrepreneur
are listed below;
1. Passion and Motivation; An entrepreneur must
be driven by the quest for deeper purpose
beyond the sheer mechanics of operating
business. Passion and motivations determined
through the follow questionnaires;
(i) Is there something that I can work on over and
over again, without getting tired?
(ii) Is there anything that keep me awake because
I have not finished?
13. CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ENTRPRENEUR
(iii) Is there something that I have built and want to continue
to improve upon again and again?
(iv) Is there something I enjoyed the most and want to
continue doing for the rest of my life?
Your passion and motivation will determine your success in
any entrepreneurial venture.
2 Risk taking; Entrepreneurs are risk takers, ready to dive
deep into a future of uncertainty. Successful entrepreneurs
are willing time and money on unknowns, but they also
keep resources, plan and bandwidth for dealing with
unknown. When valuing risk, a successful entrepreneur will
ask himself, is this risk worth the cost of my career, time
and money, and what will I do if this venture doesn’t payoff?
14. CHARACTERISTCI OF AN ENTREPRENEUR
3. Self-belief, hard work and disciplined
dedication; Entrepreneurs enjoy what they
do, believe in themselves and are confident
and dedicated to their projects.
4. Adaptability and flexibility (sponge-like);
Successful entrepreneur welcomes all
suggestions for optimisation or
customisation that enhance their offerings
and satisfy clients and market needs.
15. CHARACTERISTCI OF AN ENTREPRENEUR
5. Understand your offerings and its markets;
Entrepreneurs know their products, offerings inside
and out. Remaining unaware of change, needs,
competition moves and other expectations can
bring even great product to failure.
Money Management and Planning; It take time to
get to profitability for any entrepreneurial venture.
Till then, capital is limited and needs to be utilised
wisely. Do a feasibility analysis, identify time and
capital threshold, take a deep dive with your limited
resources. If your thresholds are crossed, look for
alternatives and be prepared to take the next exit.
