Go through any of the interviews of the reputed business magazines in the market, there’s one common introduction that you would find in every article- an enthusiastic entrepreneur. That might strike you as very charming information to start with, but the industry which is filled up with thousands of successful businessmen and entrepreneurs in a true sense finds it utterly humorous. Because they believe that real entrepreneurs never refer themselves as entrepreneurs in the market. It is the market who must signify these successful men and women as entrepreneurs.
Being an entrepreneur is indeed a very positive trend in the market because every single entrepreneurial venture will ensure some contribution in the economy of the nation. And Leslie Hocker, who has been a successful business person in real life and coach people to make their businesses successful believe that these spirits should be encouraged as well. But there is something she makes all these men understand, and that’s nothing but the thin line of difference that exists between being an entrepreneur, and entrepreneurship.
What most of these budding business professionals dream of while being an entrepreneur is fame and a huge amount of wealth; but what they forget is the long hours of dedication, setbacks, consistent trial and error method, that lies behind in the process. One needs to love the spirit of entrepreneurship instead of being an entrepreneur right from the very beginning. The real life scenario of the entrepreneurs is completely different from what people perceive. One needs to work days and nights together lonely, with no social life at all. Accepting this hard reality is what makes people leave their dream mid way and go for the regular 9 to 5 job.
As the unemployment of the nation has already peaked, the craze in being the entrepreneurs has risen among the youngsters of the nation. Since they have the perception of the entrepreneurs from the television, they believe that success is just a step ahead waiting for them in the days to come. Obviously being one’s own boss seems to be a very lucrative idea and definitely a better option than the begging on the streets, but the process is not a cake walk at all.
There’s too much of hurrying in being an entrepreneur believes Leslie Hocker from the experience that she has gained in coaching these young business professionals. The startup scene is being prepared very quickly, and there are multiple brainstorming ideas that are being gathered with the help of the web. And once these ideas are being jotted down, the most plausible one is being picked, because most of them prefer the short cut route to fame.
Planning, hard work, and dedication is the true mantra for every entrepreneurial venture, and there’s no way avoiding it. Luck will only accompany when the right way and right methods are being followed. Knowledge is just the beginning of the journey; the rest depends on the intellect and efficiency proved in adopting the way of being a successful entrepreneur.
