The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defined an entrepreneur as “One who organizes and assumes the risk of a business or enterprise.” Becoming an entrepreneur is a transforming experience. Nowadays, the number of entrepreneurs in the world is increasing surprisingly. People are developing courage attitudes. Few months ago, I had the opportunity of meting a woman who let me know her history, professionally speaking. She told me that she has a company of shampoo, which she started with a small business of three female employees. However, by the time of 2 years her products began to sell suddenly. And a result her business starts to grow and grow until this instant; now she is a famous entrepreneur. The main quality you need to have for making the decision of starting and running your own business, is certainly courage. But is also important to know that for becoming an entrepreneur this courage attitude must be accompanied of organization, perseverance, and responsibility.

To become an entrepreneur you need to have organization skills. This person requires to have very cleared his or her purposes and goals. All the jobs you need to reach to the business world; you must have them organized in a plan or agenda with the according date and time. It would be better to design your own work schedule. But taking in mind that you must accomplished each item in the schedule as how you scheduled it. These tips of organization will certainly make you start improving your own business project in order.

In addition, to get involve in the business life and become a famous entrepreneur a person needs to be very responsible. The road that guides you to the entrepreneur life has several risks, and those risks you have to assume them with a responsible attitude. You need to have responsibility in every action you perform. Accomplishing with time and with quality all the jobs and tasks you need to achieve the business life. The more responsible you are, the more credibility you will have. This is how being very responsible you will become an exemplary business man or woman.

On the other hand perseverance and patience are qualities you need to develop to become an entrepreneur. Not everything you yearn in life you will have it in one day or month, every single thing has a process. This is way to start your enterprise; you need to have a lot of patience. This road will have numerous drawbacks; they could be situations, people, or suddenly problems that are not in your hands. For this you need to be a perseverant person, and try to ignore these obstacles because they could keep you away from your purposes and goals. But have in mind that when you fall; stand up and keep going. That is how perseverance and patience is really necessary to become an entrepreneur.

I believe that entrepreneurs are exemplary persons. We must learn from them instead of envying them as how many people do. They are people that commonly started from a low level, and to achieve their success; they needed a huge courage attitude. But also organization, perseverance, and responsibility are necessary too. I hope these little advice help you to start running your own business or enterprise. Good luck!
