Hit your pause button now. Scroll up a little and watch the video again. NOW are you getting a little closer to the point? Yes, you got it right! The guy in the video: Had an idea; Was passionate about it; Wanted to turn his idea, his fantasy, into reality; Faced multiple rejections. Believed in himself when nobody agreed with his idea and no one believed in his vision; Did not surrender to rejections but faced them and took them as a challenge; Kept faith in himself and his goal; Did everything it took to give his dream a true shape; Learnt new things, new skills, everything he possibly could just to make it happen. He had to learn all those skills, he had no prior clue of, from the scratch just to make it happen at any cost regardless of how long it’s going to take or whatever it’s going to take to turn his dream into a reality; Had sketched out the execution plan – the action plan; Had specific, quantified, focused goal; Had the desire to ‘create’ the special moments; Did not keep waiting for the perfect time. Believes the perfect time is right now. Believes in doing it now and seizing the moment for every moment brings an opportunity with it; Wanted to do what was never done before; Owned the risks. He knew falling off the bridge could take away his life but he plunged into all risks not caring about the what if’s; People thought of his passion as craziness but negativity and skepticism around him did not stop him from taking action; Was 100% confident about his end goal and knew that it’s going to work; Allowed fear to be his guide. Believes that things that we are most apprehensive and feel overwhelmed about are the ones which bring you the most joy. He believes that success is ‘earned’. It’s your blood and sweat that makes success sweet; Follows the gut feeling. Follows his intuition. If he feels positive about it he just does it not caring about what’s going to happen next; Believes in crushing your own limitations in life by just using the power of your mind; Follows the inner guidance with absolute conviction. If done so everything just ends up in the right place; Believes that it doesn’t really matter how long your life is. What’s important is how you spend that time; Has a burning desire to build unique experiences; Believes in taking action. Action. Action. Action. Practiced tirelessly until the very last day; Worked towards his dream, his goal, with absolute consistency and diligence; converted by Web2PDFConvert.com


And lastly but not the least, he persevered in the toughest of times when all the circumstances were against him and no one supported him. Now let me ask you a question.

Do YOU Have What It Takes To Be An Entrepreneur?

Today I am going to share with you what it takes to be an entrepreneur. In fact I would say, what it takes to be a “successful” entrepreneur. Do I still have your attention? Now let me unwrap a part of you.

You Already Have What It Takes To Be An Entrepreneur! Yes, that’s right! Richard Branson says,

“ Everyone is born an entrepreneur.” As my mentor, Jay, says we all have 99% of what it takes to be an entrepreneur. It’s just that 1% that most of us tend to overlook. Today I will zoom into that 1% that you probably do not pay attention to and need to polish to achieve the success you desire. converted by Web2PDFConvert.com


The remaining 1% of what it takes to be an entrepreneur As you read on you’ll discover the qualities you need to tap on to unleash the hidden entrepreneur in you. Even if you feel the slightest feeling of af rmation in your gut about each of these, let me tell you, you already have what it takes to be an entrepreneur. #1 Perseverance is in your DNA. #2 You have the ability to throw away the fear and face it rather than denying it. To be an entrepreneur you have to allow the fears to be your fuel. Instead of fearing your fears, follow them and let fears be your guide.

“If you’re going through a difficult time, consider the possibility that right now you are exactly where you need to be. When parasites slip into the oysters and threaten their survival, their natural reaction is not to fight it off. Instead they cover it up with the same substance that is used to create their protective shell. Overtime this process creates ones of the most admired objects in the world, the Pearl. Instead of trying to eliminate the problems and avoiding fears, run towards them. They are your stepping stones to greatness.” – Yali Sharon #3 You refuse to settle for the status quo. #4 You are different than the rest. #5 You have the burning desire to design your life yourself. #6 You are passionate about what you do or want to do. #7 You are dedicated. #8 You find opportunities in the bleakest of times. Find light in the darkest of night. #9 You like standing out of the crowd. #10 You refuse to be a part of the grind. #11 You want to do things your own way and live your life on your terms.

#12 You have the courage to take the plunge into challenges and ght them. You are motivated by challenges. They motivate you to work harder. #13 Risks don’t stop you from diving into your passion. You have the sight of an eagle, the strength of a miner, the curiosity of a child. You see the hidden potential in risks. #14 You are always in search for opportunities to grow and improve. #15 You are an ultimate optimist. You have insurmountable, in nite faith in yourself. You believe that your time and money invested now will eventually get back to you manifold. #16 You are full of energy. #17 You are malleable. Hardships don’t tear you apart. In fact they help you turn into an even stronger person #18 You don’t want to follow others. #19 You have leadership qualities in you. You like sharing success.

“Leaders don’t create followers, they create more leaders.” – Tom Peters #20 You welcome criticism. You see it as your growth strategy. #21 You are constantly self-evaluating yourself. #22 You believe in your uniqueness and just love being yourself. #23 You have a thick skin. Negative situations or comments from other people do not lower your enthusiasm to work. Naysayers don’t bother you and you maintain your productivity. #24 Patience is in your blood. You do not give up quickly and work with diligence and consistency. #25 You are willing to sacrifice. You are absolutely at peace with the fact that in the initial 3 to 5 years on your journey to entrepreneurship you will have to sacri ce a chunk of your social life and other entertainment like watching TV. Rather, you are more than willing to utilize this time in getting your things done. You are willing to sacri ce your current salary (if currently you are working for someone else) to build your future streams of income. converted by Web2PDFConvert.com


#26 Being labeled, rejected or unaccepted by the society doesn’t stop you. You see rejections as a way to work even harder. #27 You stand in the midst of all failures and refuse to quit. You see failures as experiences and opportunities for growth rather than feeling dejected. As Thomas Edison said,

Remember,

“Entrepreneurship is a sentence of failures punctuated by successes.” – James Altucher #28 You stay laser focused once you set your goals. #29 You believe in providing value to the society. You believe in giving rst. You do not chase money. You hold on to the fact that the provision of value to people is the only pathway on which money will follow you. You see yourself as a problem solver. As my mentor, Jay Kubassek, says

“Money is just a by-product of your value to the society” #30 You don’t follow the suit but nd new ways to do things. You have the hunch for innovation. By that I don’t mean that you have to be the next Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg. You can be an innovator in things as common as writing or any area of your life that you want to pursue as your career. #31 You are creative. Creativity has nothing to do with arts. Creativity can be in literally anything, any unique quality that you have. You can be a creative software programmer and come up with unique game applications. You can be a creative coach who loves to teach. You can be a creative football player who comes up with his own ways to kick the football. You name it, and you can be creative in it.

#31 You believe in being original. You value your uniqueness. #32 You like to master mind. You surround yourself with like minded people with much better experience and vision than you. You surround yourself with advisers, people smarter than you and listen to their ideas. #33 You believe in working synergistically. #34 You work and play hard. You fall down and pick yourself up until you get it right. #35 You take consistent action. Entrepreneurs know that taking action is the key to success. #36 You have an attitude for gratitude. If you do not feel grateful for your blessings you won’t see any positivity in your life. Thanklessness instills negativity, lowers your inner vibration and you attract negative things. (Remember the movie, The Secret – Law of Attraction) #37 You do not get stuck in the analysis paralysis. No matter how much information you gather but at the end nothing beats experience. Every successful entrepreneur believes in implementing whatever they learn right away and leverage them. #38 You do not keep waiting for the perfect time. You seize the moment as you know that on the road to entrepreneurship, an imperfect action taken today is the perfect action. Now it’s time for you to get up, take action and seize the moment. The best is right here, right now! Do not just work to make a living but DO WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL ALIVE because,

YOU Already HAVE what it takes to be an entrepreneur!

Here is to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble makers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently . They are not fond of rules. They have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they are the ones who change things. They push the human race forward. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” – Steve Jobs
