Entrepreneurial Spirit

Entrepreneurs are the richest people on earth, we know the names of the famous entrepreneurs: Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga, Donald Trump, Richard Branson, Oprah Winfrey, Ted Turner I can go on and on. But most wealthy entrepreneurs are people you and I will never hear of, because they don't command media attention, they just live quiet rich lives. 
I often hear people debate the question, "Are entrepreneurs born or can they be developed?" Some think it takes a special person or a certain magic to be an entrepreneur. To me, being an entrepreneur is not a big deal; you just do it.
Today, there are millions of people who dream of quitting their jobs and becoming entrepreneurs, building and running their own businesses. The problem is, for most people, their dream is just a dream. So the question is why do so many fail to go for their dream of becoming an entrepreneur?
The problem is that they don't have the spirit of an entrepreneur. They have a certain way of doing things and a peculiar mindset.

Entrepreneurs;
                         " don't look for work they create work
                    don't look for a job they look for an opportunity
                         don't look for security they seek freedom
                don't work for money they make money work for them".

The major obstacle to gaining the entrepreneurial spirit is because we went to school, I wrote an article some time back; "If you want to be rich and happy don't go to school". Schools don't teach financial intelligence. The only thing schools prepare us for is to work for the entrepreneurs, therefore the more education or certifications we acquire the more we lose the entrepreneurial spirit i.e schooling is inversely proportional to entrepreneurial spirit. The annoying thing is that these entrepreneurs use us to build their wealth after which they  throw the bombshell; "due to on going re-organisation and re-structuring, your services are no longer needed, please hand over all company property and vacate". Then what would you do?.... look for another job? Gone are the days of the industrial revolution when jobs were available and secure, we are in the entrepreneurial revolution! Only those who have the entrepreneurial spirit will be successful.

You must learn to develop your entrepreneurial mindset. Your mind determines your life. The bible admonishes us to guard our heart with all diligence, and as a man thinketh so he is. Our mind is infinite but your doubts are limiting. Ayn Rand, the author of Atlas Shrugged, said, "Wealth is the product of man's capacity to think". So if you are ready to change your life, gain the entrepreneurial spirit, I would like to introduce you to an environment that will allow your brain to think, act, earn and become wealthy.

The only way we can prosper as a country is if more people develop the entrepreneurial spirit. Contribute to the growth in Nigeria, Share the message on your social media sites, ensure all your friends and acquaintances get this message. God bless you.
