ENTREPRENEURSHIP

By Ayo Emakhiomhe

Entrepreneurship could generally be said to be about making the best use of a business opportunity when it arises.

But true entrepreneurs create such opportunities in the first place then, optimally deploy such opportunities to the best of their advantage.

Be you a business owner, a self employed person, an investor, an employee or a job seeker, you are all entrepreneurs.

We venture into entrepreneurship for reasons ranging from a need to make money to a passion to fulfill a cause.

Some people go around with the mindset that there is a master plan for their life of which they are acting out like auto-bots.

These set of people form a majority of the human race and thus when they eventually get to that ‘uhuru’ (place of victory); they cannot state specifically what path they had threaded to get there. They consider it an accidental deviation that has turned out for good.

But what we should understand is that our future is in our hands, opportunities come but we do not need to wait for them, we can go ahead and create them for ourselves. Careful planning and deliberate, focused implementation produces outstandingly excellent results.

We should be able to define what we are doing, why we are doing it and how we got to where we are, and how we are going to get to where we are going to.

An enterprise is always representative of its owner; it exhibits those innate personalities of the owner that sometimes even the owner does not know exist.

When starting a business venture, it is always best to be deliberate, to achieve this, one needs careful planning and self searching.

We need to be able to define who we are, what’s our strengths and weaknesses and what opportunities exist in our environment in relation to this, what need can we fill or create?

If you have been able to answer all these questions, then let’s get started on the journey of entrepreneurship.
