Entrepreneurship is a belief system. It's a mindset, and it's a lifestyle! Being creative and gutsy, that's the stepping stone for a layman to elevate himself/herself into an entrepreneur.
Of course.. there are other important factors that further separate great entrepreneurs from the other entrepreneurs :)
well said, thank you. Hope you subscribe to the podcast :)
Entrepreneurship is a way of trading... and it applies in walks of life.. whether you are a business and employee or athletes alike...
100% agree. It's a lifestyle.
Entrepreneurship is an art which has to be learnt over the time and evolves us into a totally different human being.

As an Entrepreneur, I think athletes are "seasonal self employed individuals ". Meanwhile, some athletes has distinguished themselves by going on to the level of been entrepreneurial.

Wauhhh..,.I think athletes have even higher chances of being entrepreneurs. Their presence and ability can attract customers or clients.
Though not athlete, I'm also a fun of entrepreneurship. I am a farmer and plant cabbages, tomatoes and eggplants.
I still believe that my cabbages, tomatoes and eggplants are the best in the whole country.
Farmers are 100% entrepreneurs!
Yeah....I totally agree with you. Hope that you will visit my garden one day
Waking up every day at 5:00 AM and working off your azz be it, running, weights, swimming etc..... As well as watching your diet. This lifestyle is just pure discipline. They love what they do like oweners of companies love what they do.
no doubt. Most business owners that I know aren't that disciplined.
your post is so inspiration for me and all users of steemit . Continue working
thank you. What did you like abt it?
i dont think it has anything to do with it. most of the entrepreneurs was born with that character. It['s more an innate character in my opinion
do you think someone can learn to be an entrepreneur?
I don't. one of the most important thing on being an entrepreneur is inventing and investing without fear and its not something you can learn, it's either you have it or you don't
