Am I an Entrepreneurial Entrepreneur?

To set up means ¨to make things happen¨; therefore, an entrepreneur is a person who makes things happen

The fact that each one of us “exists” means that we were able to be born, so our birth was our first and greatest venture.

Each and every single person in this world has an amazing entrepreneurial potential. We have the capacity to materialize our ideas, our dreams. That's why it is so important to imagine, visualize, and dream

“All things are created twice. There's always a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation to all things.” Stephen Covey.

We can set up a soccer team at school, organize a trip between friends, a business idea, an air quality campaign. However, the entrepreneurial population in the world, only 1% approximately, has the profile to set up a business. That is, you are an entrepreneurial entrepreneur if ¨you will be able to make a business happen¨ and if that is the case, you are welcome to continue reading.

According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), if you decide to venture in the entrepreneurial path, you are part of a pretty important worldwide group. GEM interviewed 65 different global economies and discovered that the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well, with an estimated 582 million entrepreneurs living all over the world.

Another recent study conducted by the GEM found that 40% of all new entrepreneurs in 35 out of 50 countries partially agree or completely agree that their motivation to set up a business is wanting to make a difference in the world. ( The Definite Entrepreneur's Source: (QR12) Statistics 2022)

Why do people set up a business?

When dealing with the 'why' people want to become entrepreneurs, a report from Guidant Financial found that 26% of the people interviewed wanted to be their own boss. Another 23% said that they wanted to pursue their dreams, whereas only 19% stated that they saw an opportunity and that was their motivation. Finally an even smaller percentage, 6% started their own business because they had lost their jobs

As an entrepreneurial entrepreneur, we recommend that you get a tool box and a guide on how to apply those tools.

Why are you interested in setting up a business?

What is your motivation?

If you have a clear answer to these questions, CONGRATULATIONS! It is very important to connect the motivation, since as we will be reading in the Success Triad, motivation feeds the commitment and dedication of your venture (commitment is key one of the three elements to being successful). If you haven't defined the reasons, it would be important to allocate some time to connect and discover your motivation to start venturing. Simon Sinek will tell you START with WHY! (QR13)
