What Does It take to be an Entrepreneur?

 

 Hello, friends welcome to “ Snehha Ke Vichar”.

Today I want to share with you a very precious piece of my learning which I got while I was planning to start my Entrepreneurial journey.

Had a lot of questions in my mind then. I was sceptical, scared, and excited but at the same time curious.

I would think that entrepreneurs are either born or a person coming from a business family can only be an entrepreneur.

I did not come from a business family.

My parents were Government employees.

No one has ever even thought of business in my family. How can I break the tradition?

Yet I was inclined to it.

Always asked one question

 “What Does It Take To Be An Entrepreneur?”

I felt there has to be some way wherein I can be what I want to be (an entrepreneur).

As they say “Dhundhne se toh khuda bhi milta hai”.

And I happen to meet my Mentor.

He was exactly the way I would imagine an entrepreneur should be.

And thought “wow! He is my guiding angel who will surely take me to my desired destination”.

    Hence I started discussing my life, my thoughts, my hobbies, my likes dislikes, sun moon stars planets with him (laugh) in short everything about my life.

And the one quality that I liked about him then was his listening skills which I still like and am trying to adopt from him. He was listening to me politely and carefully.

And after I finished telling him about myself, he asked me a few questions:

So you are passionate about being an entrepreneur, aren’t you?

I said, “Of course, that’s the only thing I wanna be in my life”.

“What does it Take to be an Entrepreneur?”

I said, “I feel one is born an entrepreneur or they come from a business family”.

To this, my mentor laughed and said that’s so not true.

I said “Are you trying to say that anyone and everyone can become an entrepreneur?"

Mentor said, “Yes, If one is willing to".

Here I felt my chances of becoming an entrepreneur are 100%.

My mentor gauged my thoughts and said let me ask you one more question before that.

Then he asked me “ Are you a good follower”?

I said, “I am ready to follow to the core as long as it's taking me to my destination”.

He said if that is so, just do as I say.

Start reading books.

Start from an amazing book named “ The Business of 21^st Century”.

But now I had a question which I asked my mentor.

“What Does It Takes To Be An Entrepreneur”?

To this, he said just read this book and you will get an answer.

So I started reading this book.

And to my surprise, there was exactly this question printed on one of the pages.

I was amazed. Felt as if Universe is helping me.

I started connecting the dots backwards and thought life is full of surprises and magic.

With this positive and happy feeling, I started reading the answer to my question in this book.

The book says, If I want to be an entrepreneur, it just takes one thing.

Stop thinking and procrastinating. Just do it.

Just start your journey.

Yes, the first step is scary and risky.

Take a leap of faith and start.

It takes courage to discover, develop and donate your genius to the world.

Not everybody had that courage, but if you want to change your life, gather that courage and just start.

I got the answers to my golden question which was bothering me all the while I thought of being an entrepreneur.

But after reading this I felt relaxed.

Felt happy that I had that courage in me and I took that first step.

Many people just think. But they never start anything.

So my dear friends, are you thinking of being an entrepreneur and do not know what does it take to be an entrepreneur?

Read the book “The Business of The 21^st Century” by Robert Kiyosaki. This book changed my thoughts and eventually my life.

Thanks to the author.
