WHAT IS ENTREPRENEUR?
EXAMPLE:
Entrepreneurship?
- Explanation:
- THE DIFFERENCE SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH, WHILE
ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS CREATING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR
ANOTHER BUSINESS VENTURES, THROUGH RISK.
AN EYE-OPENING STATEMENT FOR ME IS THAT: THE BIGGEST
BENEFITS OF TAKING RISKS IS THAT IT OPENS UP POSSIBILITY FOR
NEW OPPORTUNITY. ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE UNCERTAINTY INVOLVED
IN MAKING RISKY DECISIONS, THESE CHOICES CAN BRING
UNEXPECTED GROWTH OR EVEN LEAD TO ENTIRELY NEW DIRECTION.
Management however – is a great tool for forward-thinking. Not
only can you plan better with a more informed understanding of
risk, but you can also make quicker decisions across business
operations due to available data. With more information,
decisions can be made with more confidence.
Characteristics of an entrepreneurship
1. VISION – Every venture starts with a vision: the desired
direction of the business. Stakeholders, including your
employees and investors, look to you—and your vision—for
guidance, motivation, and decisive leadership, especially
when the going gets tough. While your mission
statement defines your organization’s business objectives
and how it intends to reach them, you can also create
a vision statement to declare your aspirational goals.
Passionfruit founder Liz Bertorelli’s vision was clear
when she started her LGBTQ+ merch brand. “I wanted to
start something that would feel like there were people
backing it: queers designing queer products,” she says.
2. RISK TOLERANCE –
You’ve likely heard the adage, “No risk, no reward.” That
can be true when launching any business venture. The
primary reward of starting a successful business may be
profit or independence, while the inherent risk is
failure—and the personal and financial setbacks this
might entail.
Almost half of businesses fail by their fifth year. This
is due to a number of reasons: cash flow problems, supply
chain issues, high employee turnover, and even unforeseen
events like a global pandemic. Successful entrepreneurs
have some level of risk tolerance including the ability
to make calculated decisions.
