A while ago, I was flipping through my old notebook, the one I used when I was in the first year of my college life. I found my notes titled “finance seminar.” Oh I remember While my classmates were busy chatting with each other at our table at the time, I was busy taking notes on the seminar. I couldn’t blame them for not listening to the guest speaker because it bored me too. The speaker was reading his notes and adding some sentences to explain what is written in your notes.

Despite the boredom he gave us, I still wrote down the facts that I had learned from his speech. I thought our professor would give us a long test on the seminar, but he didn’t. Good for us. The topic of our seminar interested me anyway. What was the theme? It’s about being an entrepreneur. He knew he could use these facts in the near future.

According to the speaker, the entrepreneur is also known as an innovator. Joseph Shumpeter is the one who introduced the Innovative theory.

Characteristics of an entrepreneur

We cannot describe an entrepreneur in one word, so let me share what really makes a good entrepreneur.

An entrepreneur is a person who takes risks, innovates or does new things, seeks changes, accelerates the development of the economy, sees and evaluates business opportunities.

Risk taker

If you are a person who does not know how to take risks, change your attitude. If you can’t, don’t try to be an entrepreneur. You can’t be successful if you don’t take risks. How would you know if a particular strategy or technique is good for your business if you don’t try to use it? Yes, it can fail. Failure is often lurking, but this shouldn’t stop you from taking risks. As the axiom goes, “No guts, no glory.”

Innovative

People say that necessity is the mother of invention, but do you know what its core is? Couldn’t you guess the answer? It is creativity. There an entrepreneur enters.

The entrepreneur must always do something new, fresh, not yet known to most people and, of course, useful. What is the use of making a product if there is already one like the one you are about to make? Is it for the assurance that you will have customers for the reason that you can see that the product is sold? Pretty good reason, but not really cool. It is still better to make an original product. I know you can’t satisfy man for his entire life (because man usually focuses on the things he doesn’t have) but for a while, it can also make him feel the satisfaction that your new product brings.

Change search engine

A true entrepreneur has time to seek changes and do something to develop a certain thing. You shouldn’t be stuck in the usual stuff. There is always room for development in everything you do.

Accelerates the development of the economy

If you take risks, change your search engine, and produce new quality products, there is a good chance that you can help your country’s economy. Actually, that’s a great characteristic of an entrepreneur. That is why most of the country’s leaders are grateful to have great entrepreneurs in their country.

Its good quality product can be exported. Therefore, it brings more profit to your business and your beloved country.

Ability to view and evaluate business opportunities

There are many business opportunities out there. It is good for every entrepreneur. What you need to know is how to find the best business opportunity for you. Find one that suits your creativity or style.

Then once you’ve seen a business opportunity, try evaluating it. In this process, you need to be smart enough to know which opportunity is good for an entrepreneur like you and which is too good to be true.

Do you have these characteristics? If you do, you can now start a business and learn the other things that will make your business successful. Be an entrepreneur. Be your own boss.
