Entrepreneur’s News

Considering the recent turmoil that News Corporation has had in the past few weeks, the concept of being at the top and super empowering on each and everything, no longer exists. Media Mogul Rupert Murdoch’s apology was a lively example of the saying "with great power comes great responsibility". It still proves that in no circumstances, this money can buy anything. The arrogance of owning anything on whatever an entrepreneur keeps his fingers on has been thrashed by the Law and Order that still exists in the world. There was a time when this Monster was galloping almost all the media Business all by himself and no one was there to stop him. Hopefully not commercially but ethically he has been curbed.

One man business

Whatever that individual says goes. Since he is the only person in the business, all profits and losses are borne by him. Although many businesses now days are not 'one man' businesses, they are present all over and are reasonably successful. Entrepreneurship is considered profitable for small scale businesses because the capital invested is small.

Entrepreneur-Who is one?

The word “entrepreneur” derives itself from the french word entreprendre, which means to undertake. An entrepreneur is anyone who is willing to undertake a venture, with all its risks.

A businessman is different from an entrepreneur. The purpose of the former is to only market the products of the latter. An entrepreneur is enterprising. He comes up with new ideas to market, new products that a consumer might want. He is liable for all the associated risks. A businessman might evolve into an entrepreneur in some time, when his perspective broadens, and his understanding of his clientele becomes better. When his product is marketed, it is sold by other businessmen.

Entrepreneurs Who Fail Succeed

Entrepreneurs Who Fail Succeed: Technology has made this the time of becoming an entrepreneur. Large corporations now have to compete -- not with the mom and pop stores on the street corner -- but with mom and pop working out of their home. Information speeds up the decision making processes. Entrepreneurs are light and agile, as opposed to the large and cumbersome entities we call corporations. Entrepreneurs can turn to new directions at lightning speed, and come out the winner every time.

But you need a plan, and that plan should be in place showing your business from beginning to end, before you actually begin. There are other things to keep in mind as you head on your entrepreneurial journey.

Don't plunge headlong into your own business venture. Start in a part time capacity, allowing your business to grow and your income from it to stabilize. This can take anywhere from six months to a year. Don't bet your mortgage on becoming a success in a fortnight.

Remember, you are not a general store. You must find something to specialize in, doubly so if your business is online. Find a need, a desperate market, and fill the need. Solve their problems in ways the big guns can't do.

Be online. Even if your goal is a brick and mortar outlet, be online. You have access to millions more people, and you save advertising costs by promoting in ways an offline presence is incapable of doing.

Don't give up until it is truly over. Every successful entrepreneur has had to develop gallons of creativity, ambition, drive and energy to keep going, even when they are falling flat on their faces. Microsoft didn't take off until the third generation of its software came out. That means that the first two versions of Bill Gates' dream were nightmares. Did he give up? Ask his accountants. Determination is what separates the entrepreneurs from the wage slaves. You can fail, just don't keep doing that.

Planning your new business

It was not such a long time ago when ladies and men took on 2nd or 3rd or 4th roles to survive for their family. In several cases the close families in little cities around the planet worked together to weather tough times. They're expanding the probabilities by promoting their work-at-home business to a global audience. This generation of entrepreneurs depends on the same premise their forbears did in intending to find fiscal solutions where others may fail to look. Fundamentally, the voiced need is the propulsion for the development of a business launched from home.

This doesn't suggest that these work-at-home businesses never fail, but these owners have a stronger interest than those that develop a home run business as a sideline or something that is meant to provide residual revenue thru assorted affiliate marketing programmes. One of the traps that financially strapped entrepreneurs fall into is following 'get rich quick' ideas.
