The Webster Dictionary defines the word “ entrepreneur ” as a person who organizes and manages any enterprise , esp . a business , usually with considerable initiative and risk .
Do you think entrepreneurs possess inherent characteristics that cannot be taught ? In my opinion , I think that it ’ s safe to say that up to a certain extent you can teach some characteristics to certain people , but not to all people . Entrepreneurs do not only need to have a vision , but they also need to be driven . The most inherent characteristic that all entrepreneurs possess is drive ; drive is something that cannot be taught !
Luckily , almost everyone has some type of drive for something . The key is finding that “ something ” that you truly enjoy ; be good at it and believe in this “ something ” and then figure out how you can generate revenue from it . When you have an entrepreneurial spirit , you are typically the type of person that is able to think outside the box . In order to survive as an entrepreneur / business owner – YOU HAVE TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX .
As most of you are aware , Florida ’ s unemployment rate is among the highest in the Nation . Now is the perfect time for people with an entrepreneurial spirit to begin exploring opportunities outside of the traditional employment path . Gone are the days when people could depend on good old company loyalty to set them up for the “ Golden years ’, and its place a new time has emerged , the time of the entrepreneur !
Layoffs at big and small companies have created millions of newly ( and not so newly ) un-employed people that are scrambling to start their own businesses . There are many ways you can start this journey toward financial independence . One of the hottest subjects in the business world today is network marketing . Recruitment efforts are in full force , and bilingual entrepreneurial spirits are in high demand .
Business owners / entrepreneurs are the lifeline of this great country , and these visionaries are the ones who are likely to come out on top in the end . For those of you that have had it with pounding the pavement in search of a new job , and are doing your homework on what you really want to do , an excellent way to obtain information on what business opportunities are out there is through attending entrepreneurial seminars .
Can that entrepreneurial spirit that drives business owners to succeed be taught or even learned ? Do you think entrepreneurs possess inherent characteristics that cannot be taught ? What type of opportunities are out there ? What would I be good at ? These are just some of the questions many people are asking themselves .
Entrepreneurial Seminars are put together to answer these questions through informational and educational workshops . Thus , bringing together various ideas , concepts , and opportunities for you to research and consider before moving forward .
