Becoming An Entrepreneur

(Excerpt from the book)

What is an entrepreneur? This question must be answered before we truly indulge in the matters of entrepreneurship. An entrepreneur is one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise. Becoming an entrepreneur is something that comes with a great price. An employee can have a lot of responsibilities and be a vital part of the company, still, they are not ultimately responsible for the survival of the business. However, the entrepreneur (CEO) is accountable for the longevity, success, and journey of the business.

An employee is like an organ that can be removed or replaced (i.e., a kidney). However, the entrepreneur is a vital organ that the business cannot function without it (i.e., the brain). Removing “it” will kill the entire body.

For entrepreneurs, things out of the ordinary are the norm. To think outside of the box is a valuable skill. For example, the wheel was invented thou-sands of years ago. However, the wheel's function has been reinvented numerous times over the years. Therefore, entrepreneurs must look at the world around them and see what change(s) are necessary and how to create them. If an entrepreneur wants to achieve their goals or execute their vision, he or she must strive to win. Ultimately, winning produces success.

The most important achievement for an entrepreneur is Success. Whatever the goal or purpose, success should always be the result. It is almost impossible to find an accomplished entrepreneur who desired failure.

The best word to describe the drive of an entrepreneur is appetite. To be profitable, you must have an appetite for it. The entrepreneur’s appetite is completely different from a regular business owner. Their taste buds, thought process, and approach to business are unique. The business owner generally has a linear approach. They take one system and produce limited outcomes. On the other hand, the entrepreneur has a more dynamic approach, allowing limitless results.

The mind of the entrepreneur is always creating and planning the next big achievement. In my study on entrepreneurs, I read an article that stated, there is simply no off switch. Entrepreneurs are extraordinary visionaries. They are thinkers and planners while embodying an acute craving for efficiency. During my soaking time, the Lord began to break down an entrepreneur's appetite, and His approach was much different from what I expected. So, while reading this book, be ready to take an exciting journey. Put on your seat belt because your mind will be expanded in order to receive all it has to offer. Position yourself and be ready to download great information and revelation.
