Why i want to be an Entrepreneur (Part 4)

Entrepreneurialism is on the rise. These days its not generally some guy starting a billion dollar business with venture capital backing. Its more likely to be pips just like you, clearing out a small corner of their homes to make a go of their own home-based business. It’s always easy to notice a big Microsoft Corporation building or a Dell computers Centre, but it wasn’t always that. There was a certain crazy Bill Gates (who left Harvard before graduation) talking to his friends in his garage about an ambitious plan to dominate the emerging Personal computer industry. There was a certain Micheal doing his thing with PC parts back in his college room. What was so special about them then..?Nothing. How about today..? A lot!

The speed of innovation and the commonness of information today leaves you at par with the big companies; with just the right motivation you could do what they’ve done or even better. Everyday, more people are making the decision of becoming their own boss and breaking out of the “Vicious rat race”. I read in one of my friend’s notes on how people plan on working 3-7 years and end up working 30years or longer. They plan on paying up some debts ASAP but are never debt free until they die. The slave and slave owner thing is still on today but just in a more decent way. The last interesting fact I got from the note was that the word MORTGAGE is derived from the latin words MORT which means DEATH and GAGE which means PLEDGE. OMG….,just see how pips struggle to get a Death Pledge.

Trust me, there isn’t any such thing as job security today. Your Grandpa could have planned his life on one job(my grandpa was a teacher and his pensions were quite good till he passed on) but not you; doing that would mean laying your foundations on quicksand. Having Multiple Streams of Income(MSI) is a good insurance policy, and if you finally get to be your own boss, That’s Perfect!

You connect with your destiny when you’re able to really take charge of your life. You cannot ‘truly’ be in charge if you have not attained financial freedom. With the right finances, you’re able to do the things you love and help the people you love. Nothing is more frustrating than having good intentions but lacking the power to execute them. Imagine the great good you can accomplish in your family and communities if you had the power to go the whole 9 yards without having to breath hard. You might have said in the past..”if I have..”, “when I have…”. The time for the ‘Ifs’ and ‘Whens’ is now. Entrepreneurship is so dynamic in our day that you don’t have any reason to be poor or just comfortable except for “Ignorance” or “Mental laziness”.
When in the early 60’s many questioned President Kennedy’s policy in investing so heavily in the US Space program, he responded in the historic speech at Rice University in Texas that:

“We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too”

May we challenge ourselves to choose and do the hard things today to provide comfort and security for generations after us, and a safer world tomorrow

BE YOUR OWN BOSS, DON’T BE THE GOLD IN ANOTHER MAN’S PURSE.

This my friends is another reason why I want you to be an Entrepreneur.

Cheers!
