THE FOUR COMPONENTS
OF THE SPIRIT OF ENTERPRISE -
"The spirit of enterprise is
the currency for thriving entrepreneurs"
I
believe sincerely that there is a spiritual component inherent in entrepreneurism - a belief system that by passes our conscious mind. (Remember
the conscious mind is the reasoning mind - the intellectual mind). It is
possible to be so possessed with this spirit that sometimes people around you
are not able to comprehend; the season is that in most instances the
entrepreneur is operating from the subconscious level - that is the part of the
mind that believes that everything is possible.
The Spirit of Enterprise
What is
the spirit of enterprise? It is an illusive quality that cannot be quantified,
but it is easily identified in an individual. The spirit of enterprise is
characterized by optimism. The individual entrepreneur is so possessed by his
vision of what is possible and a mission so electrifying that he refuses to see
the obstacles. He sees a setback or discouragement as a temporary inconvenience
designed to help him look at other alternatives to achieve his dream. The
individual entrepreneur could be so possessed that it is possible for him to
ignore his surroundings to the pursuit of his entrepreneur dream.
Here Are
The 4 components:
Faith and Vision:
Faith is
the spiritual force that commits the entrepreneur to his vision: Believing in
your idea when most people would dismiss the idea as stupid. The spirit of
enterprise is believing in yourself and committing your whole resources of time
and money when most people are skeptical. It takes a rare breed to stick to
what you know will work although there is enormous risk.
Creating and
Building :
Aching
and daring to create and build, but with the odds overwhelming against. The
spirit of enterprise is pervasive when you feel a pang of restlessness, a
gnawing dissatisfaction and anxiety, yet you feel the need to throw your last
dollar on an unproven venture - that is the spirit of enterprise.
Sources of
Creativity:
The
entrepreneur spirit the sources of creativity - creativity - the apogee of
human spirit to spawn spontaneous that would give to the internet revolution
that would change the way the world interacts with one another. What a
phenomenal achievement of unprecedented proportions - because an entrepreneur dare
to dream and create
The Role of Desire:
A desire
so strong that entrepreneurs would go against conventional wisdom; a desire so
strong that an entrepreneur would start his fledgling enterprise - a desire so
strong that another entrepreneur would start his company from a college
dormitory. To the entrepreneur, the spirit of enterprise is so strong that what
he sees in his mind's eye is this; there is no adversity to anticipate, no risk
to measure; In the entrepreneur's mind all the odds him are surmountable.
