WHY TAKE THE JOURNEY?

Becoming an Entrepreneur is the most direct route to go, if you are planning to Change the World. Because somewhere in your journey to make things happen, you are going to need lots of money and not many people will fund you with capital if you have not proved yourself capable yet! Identifying this barrier later on in your life’s mission early makes the Entrepreneur Journey a necessary path to take. Things happen much faster if you have less financial constrains. Entrepreneurship is a choice open to all, so why do people embrace it in the first place?

American Express study

A research from a American Express study in 2007 shows that

• Biggest influence in becoming an entrepreneur is passion (38%)
• Followed distantly by natural entrepreneurial inclination (20%)
• Being “born into it”(18%)

Passion is something hard to describe, it seems to be something you like to do and want to keep on doing. Natural entrepreneurial inclination, frankly speaking, I think 20% is an understatement.

To me, being “born into it” and “Natural entrepreneurial inclination” are roughly referring to the same thing with a slight difference. When we add this 20% and 18% together, we get 38%, the same percentage as the biggest influence “passion”.

(Sometimes, big words have good visual effects but quite often it clutters the brain in getting the real message behind)

In simple English bare to the bones, it translates to me as the two biggest reasons why people choose to become Entrepreneurs is because

• They like what they are doing
• They feel they should do it

“To do what you want to do because you feel you should do it”. As simple as this may sound, I can ensure you that this is not a easy task to fulfil. In later chapters, you will find out about the various stages in life in which is best and worst for making this decision to venture out on your own instead of working for someone else for a steady monthly paycheck. For now, let’s concentrate on the start of the journey.

Not for Money?

Notice that there is no mention on the motivation of becoming rich in the above study, does it mean that becoming an Entrepreneur is not all about getting rich?

Far from it, even if it is a survey, the psychological effect of the supposedly “taboo” subject of money in the public will still be present. If this was a truly honest survey, I would estimate the motivation of becoming rich or at least richer than they could have been in a 9 to 5 job, to be around 70%.

Personal Experience

The most common reason amongst the people whom I know when asked what would be the most motivating factor that they will make the switch to become an entrepreneur is that they hate their 9 to 5 jobs and just want to do something on their own.

And why haven’t they started doing it? An astounding number gave the reason “not having enough capital and experience.” I know how the feeling is like. I was there before, giving the same reasons until I decided to finally step out into it. A quote comes to mind, “Before one started to make the first step, he or she will never feel ready for what lays ahead. Just Do It.”

The Feeling before an Exam - A Common Example

Have you always felt ready before you entered the examination room to take your paper?

If you are like most of us, there is always something that you felt you should have studied for or to recap before taking the exam. There is fear…until you have actually put pen to paper and completed the paper. This is almost the same feeling, overcome your need to feel ready because one can never feel truly ready enough until they have tried and done it.

Learn to Swim

” The fastest way to learn to swim is to jump straight into a swimming pool. Just be sure a life guard is nearby. It is still the easiest way to get drowned.

The second way is to read up on how to swim and practice the motion on your living room floor. Just be sure no one sees you.

The smart entrepreneur reads about swimming, practices his strokes then jumps into the pool with a life guard around.
