Your ENTREPRENUERIAL DREAM can come true

INTRODUCTION

If you are dreaming of starting a business you have two options to contend with: to dream small or think small and condemn your entrepreneurial endeavours to a small enterprise, which may enable you to lead a hand- to- mouth life style or you can start dreaming big dreams and thinking big and start up a business that can grow to be a multi- billion dollar global player.

DREAM BIG AND THINK BIG

Dreaming of starting and operating a business that can be a global player is not only limited to those that are born from already affluent and well-invested families or those that have the highest academic qualifications. You can be born African, black and poor and having only known a poor related subsistence and a wanting environment, but you can change your attitude and elect to walk away from your unfortunate circumstance by dreaming and thinking big. Dreaming big and thinking big business is a choice that everyone has the liberty and the constitutional right to exercise. You can, like thousand other rich people use other people’s money to get rich legally. Raymond Ackerman used other people’s money (shareholders and creditors) to buy the original Pick & Pay shops in Cape Town and today he is an unsung supermarket hero of South Africa.

HARVEST BUSINESS IDEAS FROM THE INTERNET

In addition, the internet has become the biggest source to harvest business ideas of any size to help you in your endeavour without paying a hefty price. Nowadays there are also a number of publications, forums and advisory centres in government sponsored websites of both developed and developing nations that can be accessed by any aspiring entrepreneur. The best place to start harvesting business ideas is namely the www.fsp.co.za and the www.ezinesarticles.com respectively but not exclusively. You can possibly navigate your way around the internet to find other interesting business tips.

FINANCIAL SUCCESS AND ALL OWNED RICHES HAVE THEIR BEGINNING IN A DREAM

It is my contention, therefore, that all financial success and all owned riches have their beginning in a dream or an idea that is coupled to a burning desire to get up and do something. Henry Ford, founder of the famous Ford automobile company just had an idea that the mass production of cars was feasible and he undertook to implement his idea and it paid off immensely; hence we still know about him many-many years after his departure from the planet earth. As matter fact, the man who is ranked the richest man on earth today is not rich because of money: he is rich because of an idea that was coupled to a dream that he transformed into a reality.

CONCLUSION

Therefore, irrespective of your race or current status and ranking in the social stratum, if you have an entrepreneurial dream do not procrastinate or sell your dream short by advancing unwarranted excuses that could render your dream stillborn. You can start your business today- with or without money and by using other people’s money- and make your dream come true. If you get started soon on your entrepreneurial journey, please drop me a line, maybe you’ll be my chosen guardian angel.

TALENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Description and examples

Talent is described as a special gift and or a natural ability. A gifted or talented individual has above average one or more skills in their chosen field of endeavour. For an example, the R&B singer, Ms Beyonce Knowles is not only a talented musician, but she is equally a talented dancer, actress and an entrepreneur with a line of designer fashion items. There a numerous other talented entertainers and sports personalities who have turned their talents into enterprise empires that are continuously making them millions in revenue. The famous golf pro Tiger Wood boast of numerous business ventures that ranging from golf paraphernalia, various brands, and how to play golf books and electronic golf games, which all together yield billions of ZARs.

The internet is an equal opportunity tool

Any individual with average or above average talent can normally exploit other opportunities that direct or indirectly related to their field of endeavours. They can promote items that have to do with the how- to-do-it with an online pay as you use price tag, literature, or a book. In today’s world of information it has become easier to use the internet to sale any marketable item directly or through many online stores that operate 24/7. If one cannot write confidently, they could send documents they wish to publish to language experts for editing and subsequently publishing the information on the internet for sale per click or a downloadable electronic book or pamphlet or publish the traditional way. The internet is an equal opportunity tool that is available to any person who has elementary computer skills or just plainly willing to promote their talent based enterprises international without running huge bills with regards to overheads and advertising costs.

Conclusion

But one can also elect to use the internet to teach the rest of the world their unique skill or any endeavour, or just to share ideas and exchange notes with those that have similar talents. Individual poets, various artists, musicians can upload their works on www.MYSPACE.com or www. YOUTUBE.com
