Are entrepreneurs born or made? This had been an old effort of discussion. Everyone of us is an entrepreneur in one way or another. We just have to tap deep within us if we desire intensely. Let us define what does an entrepreneur means. The word entrepreneur is originally taken from the French word, etreprendre, which means ” to undertake.” In the business context this simply means to begin a business. The Merriam- Webster dictionary defines an entrepreneur as one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise. It looks to me that not everyone can become an entrepreneur based from this definition. The definition actually varies from which appearance you are referring be it either business, social, economics, political.

Entrepreneurship must be a very diverse subject to discuss. I must state that all entrepreneurs started deep within themselves. That’s the topic that I want to speak about here as I am on this journey of becoming an entrepreneur. Yes I am still working on a job as a mechanical engineer for over more than 10 years already. Its never too late for me to oppose and become a dreamer. I have quite experienced some sort of an entrepreneurial skills developmentin my past 3 years of working here in Singapore. I had my first taste of engaging in a business through forex trading. Then I got involved with multi-level marketing business until I committed to being an online entrepreneur as a search engine marketer.

Here are 3 Keys you need to develop to become an entrepreneur within.

1. Definiteness of Purpose – when I started a network marketing business, we were taught to write down our dreams and goals. Why do you want that dreams and goals?  Why is that important to you? Its all about WHY? You need to develop to ask below the surface questions. In any kind of business this should be the starting point of where you want to be even one’s life purpose. Purpose is very powerful specially if you get emotional.

2. Passion – this is the driving force of your purpose. Passion gives you the energy to do what you love doing regardless of time. It drives me to learn things that I don’t know. To express myself openly and to be the ideal that I can be all the time.

3. Continuous Practice – I have to commit on practicing the necessary skills and traits of a great entrepreneur as much as I can. It took me more than 5 years to become a mechanical engineer and more than 10 years to be an impeccable expert on 3D package Modeling. This same practice should also apply to becoming an entrepreneur. I played and practice a lot of times playing basketball nearly each day before. I even imagined making the shots while I am in my dreams.  What distinguishes a star from the other performers is the number of hours of practice. A 10,000-Hour Rule was the norm  based in Malcolm Gladwell’s  book Outliers: The Story of Success.

My take is everyone can learn to become an entrepreneur.  Read books about entrepreneurship, meet people who are entrepreneur, enroll in a course or even hire a coach.

I need to act like one, dress like them, speak like an entrepreneur, be like one. Then in time entrepreneurship will find me.

“Being an entrepreneur is not a group effort. You have to trust yourself.” – Donald Trump

Part of 2010 Conference on Entrepreneurship Recognizing a social problem or opportunity, a social entrepreneur applies entrepreneurship principles to organize, create and manage a venture to drive social change. Rather than tackling these issues through the domains of nonprofits or government agencies, social entrepreneurs are increasingly realizing that social impact and profits need not be in opposition, and are forming companies with a Double Bottom Line. Our panel of social entrepreneurs and investors will address issues one-of-a-kind to social entrepreneurship as well as current trends and opportunities.
