Being an entrepreneur

posted by ryan

Entrepreneurship, a word which have being lightly mention in parts of my blog before, today it will be the made a subject although it may be short but it’s going to be a direct pinpoint on the issue itself.

While there are many entrepreneurs publishing books on why they have succeeded and how we can be the next one live to tell the tale but what’s really missing from their success story is the pushing reason, mostly by which might be personal reasons causing them to have the intense desire to succeed which they didn’t at once mention that caused the important ignition of a spark leading to a wild burning forest fire of self-motivation towards success.

There’s a book which I mention previously in a separate blog entry, but I’m going to repeat it again as this book together with another book will be more than sufficient to tell you why you we should succeed, not for others but for ourselves.

Many times, the idea of success comes with glory and honor but the reason behind the desire to succeed can be so simple like “I never want to eat choosing numbers”. As simple as it sounds, to those who understand what I written as example, good, else there’s no need to motivate or force yourself towards success if it isn’t you yourself who seeks success.

The book which I strongly recommend is “Why we want you to be rich” and Who moved my cheese”. The former being written by both Donald J. Trump and Robert Kiyosaki is a book which doesn’t teach you how to succeed but rather helps you understand yourself more and why you should. The latter is a book which isn’t top seller book, but it is a very practical, down-to-earth and simple book which can be completed in less then two hours even for a guy who doesn’t like to read books with slow book reading speed. This book however isn’t available in national library but can be bought in bookstores for $10 (round off to the nearest complete figure).

While many have talked about the fish analogy, but not many really take it to heart due to they have yet to learn actual real life fishing to understand the satisfaction of it. Unlike fishing, the book “Who moved my cheese” describes a tale of two mouse trapped in a maze looking for cheese to fill their stomach.

Going hungry is something that every single person have experienced and therefore this book will be especially closer and be appreciated more than the fish analogy. Back to the subject, quoting for the book “Why we want to be rich” again, “Entrepreneur is not a group effort. You have to be willing to go it done for a certain amount of time and sometimes for a long time. Having said my point, I wish all Happy New Year and say Cheers to Success if you believe and FOCUS.
