JB NOVA – A Blog for the Entrepreneur

Before a doctor diagnoses a specific disease, his patient must undergo a series of laboratory exams and assessments. He has to know the history of his patient and how lifestyle affected his present health problem. As results come in, that would be an indication of the time when a physician gives specific drugs and therapies for maintenance. This will eventually contribute to the level of optimum health for that individual. If all else fails, the process will be repeated again.

Similar to what the above mentioned situation has stated, an entrepreneur’s responsibility would be pretty much the same. It’s just that, you should see your customers as his patients and what they must have to survive a present predicament or a need.

He or she must follow certain steps before doing anything irrational that could contribute to the downfall of his business. He or she should have certain characteristics innate in his personality for if you lack one of these, their most probably doomed to fail.

Entrepreneurship is collectively defined as exhibiting one’s vision, taking action, and pursuing that vision as a goal to be achieved in life as service to reality. In the meaningless definition, it’s getting your butt out of that couch and doing something rather than fulfilling your life’s destiny of being a couch potato.

Stated below are some of the distinct attitudes an entrepreneur should positively have:

• Optimism – is foreseeing things in a positive way notwithstanding any circumstances that may hinder progress. The assertiveness of an individual depends on his knowledge of how to handle a difficult situation

• Creativity – is thinking outside the box. Expanding one’s mind of what is beyond the ordinary through fine research and collection of data.

• Stability – either physical, mental, social or emotional, a leader must possess a stable life which means you could handle tough situations during tough times

• Charismatic – intelligence of communicating with different walks of life. Who says a charming man is less than an intelligent one? A good entrepreneur must have the certain magic glistening in their eyes and could convey enchanting words to get hold of that convincing power no one dare resist.

• Risk-taker – as someone beginning his own dream, you should be stern and must have the guts and the balls to take the big leap of plunging into their own doom or success. You should not be afraid of taking chances when opportunity strikes.

• Energetic – willing to do whatever it takes to reach to the finish line. Their drive must always be at its highest level for being an entrepreneur would make you work overtime. Their enthusiasm must prevail the next best thing.

• Time bound – like a written report in a newspaper, an entrepreneur must be on the top of every innovation. By looking at our past, we could predict our future.

Small businesses, in time, would turn out big if the scope of management exceeds what is expected. So it is necessary for a beginner to be positive about their endeavors. You must be very observant of what his environment lacks and needs. You should have sturdy shoulders to put on extra weight of carrying a responsibility that could change his or her life.

One’s greatest failure is sticking with the mentality of being conventional.

This would be one of an entrepreneur’s greatest downfalls.

Think big.

Act.

Make your business dreams come true.

Diversity, diversity, diversity!

Some people, political types in particular, are trying to make “diversity” our defining characteristic.  Has anyone thought of approaching the topic from the point of “commonality”, a bonding point of view, rather than “diversity”, a dividing point of view?  Using the term “diversity” appears to me to mask a hidden and potentially sinister agenda to divide and control us.  The parties pursuing this line seem more interested in playing the “blame game” and law suits by using “diversity” to categorize color group rather than individual capability.

We are all unique because DNA has billions of variations which make us so, but our opportunities are not.  Humans share only a few dozen needs and desires, at best, but we have a history describing how others have solved similar problems.  However, today’s use of  the term “diversity” tends to make some feel like victims who only use history as an excuse.

Positive self-worth is an important attribute to every person, but it comes from assuming responsibility for tasks and seeing them completed successfully.  Without responsibility, we drift in a sea of self-doubt, but many are using “diversity” as a way to avert this responsibility.

“Sensitivity training” is a negative method assuming certain color groups must have special treatments for special needs.  Bull!  We are all special and should be treated accordingly.  Special treat of sensitive groups simply allows them excuses and the escape from responsibility.  The basics of  Management 101 states – “don’t give responsibility without authority, or authority without responsibility.”  That’s the training needed in place of “sensitivity”.

The United States thrives on individuality which has been the sparkplug of our society.  When we meld this individuality with teamwork, as in companies and corporations, we have a powerful engine.  Combining individual initiative and other talents with organizational management has led us to become a world leader.

Why not stress “Commonality?”  Let’s find ways to cooperate and multiply our individual talents to accomplish meaningful tasks.  Let’s look at what each can provide to gain the mutual goal?  Let’s join together to:

1.  Define mutual needs/wants, desires.

2.  Gather resources available.

3.  Develop, build, execute, and monitor a plan to this end.
