I have definitely chosen the path of entrepreneurship, in my real life I am the owner of 2 small businesses. The first one I have been doing for the last 13 years, I'm a tile contractor. Licensed in the state of California USA. Got into tile in 2002 and worked for a series of contractors as a helper/apprentice and literally started at the bottom and worked my way up. Got licensed in 2006 and started my own business. I would recommend owning your own business to anyone, for me there is no other way. In the progression of my tile setting skills as I was going along, learning all that I could about the trade, I hit a certain point that I knew I could run the jobs better than the people I was working under. That's the jumping off place. When you know, with your own creativity and knowledge, that you can do a better job than your boss is doing, that's the point that it becomes a drag working under people. They tell you to do things, and you know that problems are going to arise doing it this way, and sure enough you follow their instructions and sure enough problems happen like you knew they would. You start armchair quarterbacking what needs to be done in your head and criticizing their decisions. This I believe is when you need to put your money where your mouth is and go for it. Go start your own business, people way dumber than you are running successful businesses so why not you?
There is a certain amount of fear in launching a small business, will I fail? will I lose money? I think a lot of people want to, but are afraid to take that first step. I'm not saying make hasty decisions but at some point you are going to have to take a risk, there is no great reward without some risk involved.
My tile business is not perfect, it's difficult to scale. Custom residential tile work takes a lot of skill and finding people that care as much about quality as I do is not an easy task. Most of the time I do the work, the advertising, the selling, the customer service, and the billing. It's not easy but SO worth it, I wouldn't do it any other way. I have complete freedom with my job, I decide everything. Who I hire, when I go to work, what jobs I do, it's awesome and the best part is I make quadruple what I would make working under anyone else. There's no way I'd ever go back to being an employee

I'm still doing studies and yet to ump into business but yeah making some researches on many businesses.
-
We had a entrepreneur shop this last week, we invested Php 1200 then after 3 days of selling our product it became Php 2300, even its just a low profit, its a worth a while because we pass the performance and we have a profit.

I have been working for people for some years now and it come to my notice that I have been limiting my experiences around a particular level but since I discovered the importance of entrepreneurship, is self reliance entrepreneur helps you to relate to the market
-
I did, then I realized that entrepreneurship is always about hard work, taking risk and dedication of your time from the very beginning. I failed on it, then I go back to my study to finish a degree. It's one of the reason that I have a high regard to those individuals who took risk and even to my employer now.
-
Sure, I did. It's a very hard very very hard thing and you do all the work by yourself and only then you really can get going with something like that lately. You really should see my post earlier anyway. It's not for everyone - that's one thing I realy could say.
-
Not a single day did not work for hire. Although I did not immediately start to run my business, I tried to earn money on my own by providing various services.
-
having your own business means being independent, although we are still somewhat dependent on circumstances and market conditions. In any case, you need to be flexible and be able to work in any environment.
-
I do not run a small business. I am also being a course on innovation and entrepreneurship. I am Learning that how an Entrepreneur can run a small business. It is not easy but I think that I will be able to run a small business.

You consider starting your own firm when you are confident that you can perform tasks better than your boss using your own creativity and knowledge.
To put it simply, an entrepreneur is someone who takes on risk in order to launch a new company. He or she discovers a need that no company is currently filling and offers a solution. someone who invests money and labor to create products and services with the intention of turning a profit. Nobody is more adept at running a firm than the owner. He takes on the difficulties as a novice and keeps going until the very finish.
Starting a business requires a creative mind, a strong will, perseverance, hard effort, and consistency. Life is a lot simpler when you are financially independent
-
an entrepreneur to me is someone who is self employed or sole trader of a small business. a hard worker willing to put in the time and effort in order to grow the business.
an entrepreneur could also be a successful business person who is willing to try something different to what has been already successful, someone willing to take a risk in the belief that it will work out.
-
Being an entrepreneur comes with a lot of sacrifice, commitment and hand working, I'm a witness, I went through hell just to make sure my business doesn't fall despite the insult I received from people yet I never give up because I know if I suffer today, I will enjoy tomorrow so it's not a day work especially if you want to maintain your status and don't want to be a failure and still enjoy being rich if not you will be poor.

I'm not entirely certain if I can call this my own launched business because it is not my own product. I've started buying and selling goods. My partner and I just launched this plan, and the outcome of our first two weeks is truly unexpected. We managed to sell a lot of our reselling products and make a significant profit. We intend to use the profits earned to increase our capital and diversify the products we will resell in the next coming weeks.

Yes, I do have small business before.it was not really easy to start. And it is completely time consuming. I made some profits then but I later stopped due to other engagements. Anyways, it was a livestock business.

That's good to hear congratulations, not everyone has a business idea and acts on it but you are brave for starting the business and I wish you more profits and productivity.

From my point of view, it is not easy to become a successful entrepreneur and due credit and respect are not given to those who have strived so hard to become successful, we should give more credit to entrepreneurs because they had an idea took the risk of applying the idea and overcoming many obstacles to achieve what they have today.

Being an entrepreneur someone can start with small scale business and grow into a lager one, startup with small one before venture into a bigger one, that’s when you can be able to turn the little you have in place to startup. Have known a friend of my who started selling two to three pairs of shoes but now have grown bigger and she now own a shop of her own! Also known of a sister that started online business without having any capital but now she also own a shop in a state and she’s really making it so big, not until you have Gathered a lot before you can start up a business just have little capital or innovate something and start earning, even a plant those not start growing seed the first day it was planted but rather it takes some days, night and process before it started spreading it wings for the benefit of the nature. Because even me now that have join this platform “altcoinstalks” it is a start of an innovation to me. I believe the more I grown higher, will definitely reach the higher level too for me to start harvesting the fruit of my labour. So know your swot.

Did you ever launch a small business, how did it go?
I launched a small businesses in 2019 and had the hope that I could grow the business to become very large so that I can become an inter-state distributor of the goods I was selling then, but COVID-19🦠😷 came and scattered all my plans. Things did not go the way I planned it again because there was restriction of movement in my country (lock down) and everyone was working from home for months, but the kind of business I was doing that time is not a stay at home kind of business, so I just terminated the business.
In 2022 I launched another one which is doing very well till today.

Well for me, being an entrepreneur definitely a great work for me, but with the right mindset, we can handle the work of an entrepreneur. To me, it implies a lot of things like courage, availability, self discipline, determination, etc.
-
- Being an entrepreneur is a class, or it can be considered a skill because anyone can be an entrepreneur as long as they are persistent or strategic in life.
Other people are well educated, but they are not entrepreneurs; instead, their thoughts are designed to be employees for life. But there are others who, even though they did not graduate, became successful in life because, from a small business, they grew and got rich because they just started with an idea about building a small business.

Honestly, I am a student yet but my parent's have a business and any time am on brake I usually help out at the shop, I have also pick interest in my parent's business which I will love to become an entrepreneur and also start my own business. I have a vision to start a business that can extend outside my country and go international. That is my dream and I wish to archive it. I understand that entrepreneurs are problem solvers and they earn money frequently too.

Sometimes when we see successful entrepreneurs, we admire their success and pay little or no attention to their humble beginnings. It is not easy setting up a business from the scratch and beating all odds to see our little investments grow. Entrepreneurs are one group of people we underrate in our society, this people are doing alot to ensure we get our desired satisfaction. I have tried launching a business on different occasions and it didn't just work out. I just had to accept the fact that entrepreneurship is not for me, I have chosen other fields and I am successful in them.

Being an entrepreneur means you have to be committed and devote your time to do the business.
There are some ups and downs when it comes to business management, so you should be able to manage your business for it to grow.

Being an entrepreneur is a very good thing in life, someone being a boss on his own and all so owning a better business is good, but being an entrepreneur it's very challenging and demanding, because your time is involved,your energy, your money and everything you need to put to make the business work, have to be involved.

You know, I kind of relate to your experience when the time I decided to start my own business. I had a hard time with everything even if I planned all of it, like I was overwhelmed with every problem that came during that time. I also feel that maybe starting my own business is not for me, this entrepreneurship thing is only for people who have connections and not from common people like me.
But you know what, I did the same thing as you do. I chose other fields where I could excel, but I never gave up on my dream to have a successful business. While working in this field, I attended seminars and watched YouTube videos to learn from the experiences of other entrepreneurs.
After all the preparations, I applied all the learnings and experiences I had from my past business and used all of it to start a new business. Guess what, this business has currently run smoothly by now, I have a lot of realization that I should have known in the past, but because of everything I have faced, I can somehow manage to settle the problems that I didn't imagine I could manage.

Well said mate, to be a successful entrepreneur, you must be committed and also hardworking, you have to dedicate your time and effort to ensure that you grow

I think an entrepreneur is a person who must succeed in business against all odds. Not every individual who owns a business is an entrepreneur. Such people establish businesses without the intention to create utility but rather just to make gains. When you don't create utility, you can't also make a profit but sadly, most business owners don't have this awareness. This is why they don't remain in business for long. You must try to solve a problem first before thinking of profit. Profit consideration is not always the first thought for an entrepreneur.
I don't see myself as an entrepreneur because I don't know how to run a business. I have set up a business twice and didn't succeed in the business due to poor marketing strategy.
