NSTP Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship involves managing a business to satisfy customers and generate profit. An entrepreneur is someone who starts their own business rather than working for others, and innovates by introducing new products, processes, or organizations. Successful entrepreneurs have characteristics like self-awareness, motivation, courage, confidence, patience, decisiveness, experience, knowledge, perseverance, and drive. While having your own business allows independence and control over your time, it also means taking on more expenses and responsibilities alone without regular paychecks. Entrepreneurship can be developed by creating useful products, using creativity, desiring self-reliance, and being aware of business opportunities in one's community.

CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ENTREPRENEUR:
1. Self-Awareness – as an entrepreneur, you should always be aware of what you
want, what is good for you and what business you like to start based on your
expertise.
2. Self-Motivation – this is the characteristics that gets you going and keeps you
moving when you are in business for yourself.
3. Courage – willingness to take risks when striving for success. It means to take a
chance and hope for a positive response to the request.
4. Confidence – positive thinking is a major step in the direction of success. By
behaving as if you already are a success at what you do, it follows that you will
be and your customers will believe it, too.
5. Patience – to own your own business, there will be times when you feel like a
roof is craving in, especially when your suppliers seem to be taking your own
sweet time in fulfilling an important order or when customer’s demands seem to
be unrealistic.
6. Decisiveness – when a decision has to be made immediately or on the spur of
the moment, you should go with your intuition and trust that you are doing the
right thing.
7. Experience – one reason why some business falls within a few years of start-up
is the owner’s lack of business experiences. Experience is directly related to the
business you are planning to start. It is key components for growth.
8. Knowledge – experience in your field is invaluable, but it is not enough. You have
a better chance of succeeding by knowing.
9. Perseverance – You must be willing to persevere during the rough times, to hang
in there during the slow periods, and to maintain your belief in your product or
service even when it seem like no one else in the world knows you exist.
10. Drive – You must believe in your goal and be determined to succeed. The
successful business person does not view obstacles or stumbling blocks as
problems, but rather as challenges. You need to be totally committed and willing
to work long hours, especially in the beginning.
