Who Is An Entrepreneur?

Who is an entrepreneur? Is it someone who always succeeds? No. It is someone who is not afraid to fail!

What may be a failure to others is only a setback to the real entrepreneur. To the entrepreneur, a setback...

• is a source of additional experience
• is full of answers
• is full of insights
• is one more obstacle down!
• it's a stepping stone!

After each setback, the entrepreneur is reborn and begins a new life with all the good from previous setbacks in his/her genes.

The true entrepreneur does not fear to fail, does not fear what others think, does not fear competition, does not fear a project.

Instead, the entrepreneur...

• Has "pregnant" setbacks.
• Is motivated by opposition.
• Is inspired by what others consider "impossible".
• Does not fear to work. (S/he is not really working but actively feeding a passion).
• Does not fear to devote all her/his energies and resources into the chosen undertaking.
• Does not fear to step outside her/his "comfort zone".

The entrepreneur will often lose interest after having successfully completed a project. S/he is in it for the challenge more than anything else.

Of course, remaining "extraordinary" is a challenge in itself!

So Then. Who Is An Entrepreneur?

Obviously, it's someone who loves to win. But s/he will also derive most of the pleasure and satisfaction just from pursuing a goal ... like the hunter chasing her/his prey!

"If those committed to the quest fail, they will be forgiven. When lost, they will find another way. The moral imperative of humanism is the endeavor alone, whether successful or not, provided the effort is honorable and failure memorable."

Edward O. Wilson

All the pleasure is in the quest to the entrepreneur at heart. Success will often the by-product of unrelenting devotion to the task and total commitment.
