• What The Poor Must learn From The Rich Be Rich

    The rich get richer and the poor get poorer because of how they think and act. The mindset of the rich is different from that of the average person. The rich person has learned the truth of life. The wealthy individual knows that “life is not for self but for others”, in other words serving other people in the community and creating value in the ecosystem of life, creates wealth and riches. On the other hand, poor people always think that the rich are lucky and blessed. But the truth is that we are all blessed according to our ability. It is what we do with our ability that determines what good comes to us. The mindset of self-preservation and personal happiness is the key drawback for the poor person. They want to meet their immediate needs and wants without thinking about others.

    The willingness of rich people to be selflessly confident and determined is the source of their courage in resource acquisition and management. They manage resources with courage, mindlessly seeking to add value to their society rather than their self. This is because they understand that in serving others they meet their own needs and wants. It is in the returns on investment that they find value in luxury.

    The rich people have learned to harness the natural and environmental resources that are available to all on earth to create values that benefit everyone in their community and return, the community repays them with cash to continue to add value. This process is called investment, trade and commerce. Therefore, the rich have mastered the management of earth resources, for the good of others and the happiness of the world.

    When we know ourselves through meditation on the truth and love for knowledge, with understanding and wisdom, our potential, gifts and talents fit into our world. In this mindset, the rich do not make choices based on the influence of society or their immediate environment. Rather they conjure the image of their world in their mind to bring their wishes to the point of belief and from belief to reality. This positive energy and mindset created by self-knowledge enable the rich to use for free the natural endowments of the earth to build riches either through production or service industry.

    Rich people have learned to see opportunities in every need and every crisis. They panic in adversity like everyone, but it does not last. They cry, clean their tears, and open their eyes to see opportunities to make a better world. This is a habit of the rich. Necessity is the mother of invention. Crisis is always present on earth to offer opportunities to those who have developed their mindset to know the truth of life. Crisis is the tool used by the earth and the universe to provide opportunities for change and the creation of wealth.

    Change is welcomed and used by the rich to create more wealth. This is why the rich are restless with the acquisition of knowledge and are always seeking to understand what opportunities the new knowledge will offer for them, to create a change and to generate commerce and business growth. Growth is change and progress. The rich have the confidence, determination and courage to seize opportunities and create value for society. The poor are always looking for the reasons for the change that occurred and who to blame. This mindset of looking for excuses for every change that occurs occupies the minds of the poor and stunts growth in positive thinking and making wealth. The poor always play the blame game because they do not understand that the engine of growth is crisis and change. When they obey the principle of multiplication of resources they create new values that change the environment and create opportunities for growth and wealth. This is a clear ignorance of the truth of life.

    These qualities of the rich are learned from birth. It begins with the knowledge of core values in life, love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, diligence, perseverance, gentleness and self-control. It is our choice to learn these core values or to remain ignorant. Unfortunately, they are not taught in the classroom of any institution. They are learned at home and the teachers are the environment, parents, community, social ecosystem, culture and peers. It is within this choice process that all humans are equal. So we have to choose whether we want to be rich or poor by the type of habits we form and embrace. The basis of these two categories of life called rich and poor is a choice of mindset and values. The rich will always choose to invest resources and focus on earning rather than saving while the poor meet their wants with existing resources.

    Consequently the rich get richer and the poor get poorer because the poor is always digging a hole that consumes resources while the rich creates more resources to enrich the earth and make it a better place. It is mindsets and understanding of the truth of life. When people steal money and resources they are not rich, because they have not created value. Wealth is the creation of value and the management of earthly resources to bring peace of mind, joy and goodwill to the world. Consequently, the poor will always be with us as long as there are good and bad choices.

  • What To Do Before Starting a Business Venture.

    What To Do Before Starting a Business Venture.

    In Nigeria and most of Africa, starting a business can be very stressful and discouraging. Economic activities that yield profits and bring added value to social life in the communities are at the rudimentary stages. Trade by barter is still existing in many rural areas and are now being frustrated by the new social and economic realities driven by technology. Societies have developed their own methods of entrepreneurship that depend on unwritten values and systems. However, with increased levels of education, cultural changes, urbanisation and increased unemployment, there is a rapid change in societal expectations and values that have introduced modern enterprise requirements. 

    It is significant to note that in post-colonial Africa, many educated people were not trained for business and do not possess the skills for modern business ventures.  Consequently, the ways of doing commercial activities have been changing and now demand new skill sets that may not be tangible but are natural and true.

    Therefore, to many nascent entrepreneurs in Africa, it often feels like there are insurmountable obstacles to laying a good foundation for business in the communities. This situation may explain why most African entrepreneurs do not venture into enterprise and when they do, they quit when the going is tough and return to paid emplyment or nothing at all.

    Starting a business in the African environment is a lot of work, but it is important to note that success is made of sterner stuff. However, there’s no avoiding some basic steps and reality for new small business owners who aspire to grow in future in the present day. 

    So with simple steps such as Prepare, Form, Fashion and Create, it is possible to develop a business mindset and take actions with a sense of purpose toward building the foundation of a strong business. Often experienced business consultants say to their clients, you must give it all. Giving it all is like directing energy to a blunt axe.  When the axe is sharpened then it can add value to the purpose.

    The natural first step in starting a business is to be prepared and ready to do something that humanity will use, cherish and appreciate and are willing to give something in return to the entrepreneur or businessman for their efforts. This first step involves being convinced that one can do something useful to make the human community better. The conviction leads to a mindset change that will drive the ability to form the concept that leads to a defined but flexible pattern. This foundation or set out,  is forged by continual and dynamic experience as the enterprise is built in the mind of the business starter. Continuous meditation on the concept brings knowledge of the purpose of the business to the mind and strengthens the mindset through communications and linkages with experts and interested parties. This situation change also continually shapes the nature of the industry in the mind and creates the avenue for an appropriate understanding of the legal and financial aspects of the industry operations. 

    Upon this understanding, the image of the business begins to form in the entrepreneur’s mind and the Fashioning process begins. At this stage, the businessman begins to take inventory of the resources available in the environment that will support the shaping, structuring, fabricating and casting of the foundation of the enterprise. The structure of the enterprise determines the growth process and how far the business can go within the existing legal and financial policies and framework. This image may be blurred at first but will continue to be clear as the mind is transformed daily through the renewal of concept. 

    Then with a good visualisation of the business shape and structure, available resources can be used to create the business from the foundation to growth. The transformation of the wishes of the entrepreneur, to belief and the belief to reality is driven by an energy source only generated in oneself through thinking, meditation, knowledge, understanding and wisdom. This energy which sets the entrepreneurs apart, can be drawn by anyone who has such self-control to develop the mind to the point of obedience to the Infinite source of all things.

    Anyone aiming to start a business venture on this earth must understand that there is a Spirit behind every business, and all entrepreneurs have absolute control of their minds and are obedient to their inner thoughts. The discovery of self is the beginning of wisdom and a successful business venture.

  • Highly Successful Entrepreneurs Only See Ideal Earth

    Highly successful entrepreneurs are a Lion breed of people, seeing the earth as their kingdom and doing everything to dominate it, change it for the better and ensure the continuity of the ecosystem. Their vision of the world defines their thoughts and their mission and therefore brings out some sterling qualities that differentiate them from the ordinary person. 

    Entrepreneurs live out their lives in confidence that they have a purpose on earth and then exercise that authority over every aspect of life. As discussed in my earlier postings, some of these traits are inherited and some are learned to support and stress the inherited traits. The attributes and qualities of entrepreneurs are the ideal nature of man in search of their purpose on earth. 

    Entrepreneurs seek to create an ideal world on earth by always searching for better ways of doing things that serve humanity. Every generation of entrepreneurs is searching for the lost hope and ideal life on earth through innovation and creativity. Deep in the crevices of the secret chamber of the subconscious mind of the entrepreneur is the memory of a lost utopia, and their deepest passion is to recreate the ideal world that was lost long ago. This has led them to believe that somewhere, somehow, there are solutions to the problems of the earth and they can solve them through creativity and innovation.

    One significant quality of successful entrepreneurs is that they worship problems when they see them. In their thoughts and subconscious mind, they are problem-oriented, seeing the problems mainly as opportunities to recreate the earth and make it better than they met it. To achieve their goals and purposes they identify a niche issue that will affect society and change the world. The endurance, persistence, resilience and diligence of the entrepreneur, are motivated by the passion to change the world, so they keep working on the problem as a team until a solution that applies and is pragmatic is found. 

    Their teamwork is solidified in their friendly and humorous nature and motivating feedback to team members, by always saying thank you strongly. Great entrepreneurs focus on quality and good product design until they get an excellent investment. Their drive is never to make money but to create a better world and move the life system to the lost ideal world of peace, joy, and justice.

  • Networking is a Critical Skill for the Young Entrepreneur

    All great business ventures had people who were involved remotely and, without whom, the business might not have made it to reality. These remote people are the network of the business venture. Networking is valuable to any entrepreneur and can open doors to critical opportunities, knowledge, ideas and support that can be the difference between a business venture that succeeds and one that fails. Networking involves building and maintaining contacts and relationships with other people. It provides a means to satisfy critical objectives or needs, therefore the network itself is critical.

    There are there main types of networks, namely social, professional and artificial networks. Social is the entrepreneur’s personal network of contacts made informally through social or non-business activities. These contacts may be family, friends, former work colleagues, or contacts made through the university. While Professional networks are contacts made through business activities. Artificial networks are set up within business communities and are open to new members, trade associations, and professional institutions. The business community has several local networks, many dedicated to high technology and/or start-up companies.

    Here are some examples of general sites where entrepreneurs can network with other people. LinkedIn is a primary social network for professional networking and career development. Entrepreneurs can join organized peer groups such as the Executive Suite, Startup Specialists Network, Social Entrepreneur Empowerment Network, and Digital Marketing.

    The personal networks which entrepreneurs accumulate over time both socially and professionally can be an invaluable resource to their business venture. This applies whether the entrepreneur is looking to start and grow their own new venture, whether they are looking for a contract, or working on a project where external ideas and input can be a help. For entrepreneurs, a contact made at a purely social event may ultimately help to provide them with one of the key ingredients for the start of the business venture.

    Today, a strong network is one of an entrepreneur’s most valuable business assets. They use business cards and pitches, confidence and curiosity, to find networking opportunities and niches to create a network that opens doors and offers support as the business venture matures.

    Some significant ways entrepreneurs maintain their networks include:

    • Asking after friends and contacts via email, text message, or phone call
    • Periodically meeting for coffee or meals 
    • Sending holiday greetings through social media.
    • Attending events they are hosting and inviting them to yours
    • Sending articles or opportunities that might be of interest
    • Asking questions 

    While these may seem simple, they require time and energy and signal that the relationship is important to entrepreneurs. Therefore, a strong network can provide entrepreneurs with practical advice through seasoned entrepreneurs who share guidance based on their successes and mistakes. It can also provide funding and investments through relationships with investors that can provide the capital necessary to grow the business venture.

  • Best To Be A Small Business With Big Dreams.

    There is nothing wrong with starting small in today’s world. Indeed, it is nature’s way of growth and multiplication. Entrepreneurs understand business ventures are driven by ideas, knowledge, understanding and wisdom. In this information age knowledge and ideas abound and the entire world is driven by data, facts, information and artificial intelligence. Seeking knowledge of ideas in today’s world has never been easier. 

    Knowledge and content abound in all forms and it is therefore easy to introduce a child or youths to early entrepreneurship. Possessing the understanding of the idea and knowledge to become a founder or entrepreneur involves meditation and a change of mindset. The change of mindset is very important as it defines how they see the world. Everything around us is made by humans who want to solve problems and make life easier. Once the understanding that one can change things permeates the mind, then the entrepreneur is born. At this point they will try new ventures, fail and try again and ask for help when needed.

    This is the point where the entrepreneur must watch what is fed to the mind and how the mind processes the information. It is the step that determines the rate at which the entrepreneur turns the idea into reality. In addition, this step depends on individual growth, feeling, reasoning and conviction. Usually, this aspect of business venture inoculation is not taught in the classroom but is learned at home or inherited by the entrepreneur. 

    That being said, there is a big difference between entrepreneurs who bootstrap their companies and founders who immediately raise money. The former go through starting small and learning the rope through, faith, hope, love for humanity, diligence, endurance, patience and wisdom. It could be a tedious process but compared to previous generations, bootstrap entrepreneurs have much better access to tools, customers and capital once the initial issues of nurturing ideas have been settled.

    Bootstrapped founders might grow slower, but in the end, they steadily reach the ultimate freedom to dream big and build a business that serves humanity. Such business ventures last for years as they have been tried in the crucible of entrepreneurship. And that is the beauty of starting small entrepreneurship. 

  • You Do Not Need Money To Start A Business.

    An entrepreneur starts a business venture hoping to make it a money-making machine, but it has to be nurtured from vision to maturity and dominion of the niche. Entrepreneurs are like farmers who converts barren land or forest to productive land. The farmer must be sure that the land is fertile and suitable for the proposed crop or seed. With business ventures, the entrepreneur is the farmer; the land is the business venture and market, and the seed is the business idea. 

    The road to manifesting a business idea starts with a mission, strategy, execution and vision, leading to intended desire involves knowledge, belief and conviction. This concept is a deceptively simple but powerful way of thinking about the challenges a nascent business venture brings before the entrepreneur. The understanding of this concept is incredibly important because these are some of the most critical things business owners and entrepreneurs must determine before they begin to infuse money into the business. An idea or a dream that comes up in the entrepreneur’s head is not the business but a vision. It is simply a seed looking for fertile ground. Incidentally, it is an idea of the times whose season has come and when understood can be applied to the fertile ground to become a business venture that must be nurtured with all necessary ingredients.

    My 37 years of business have shown me that to start a business venture the entrepreneur must see the dream in three dimensions. A vision is a mental picture generated in the subconscious mind, representing the ability to think and plan the future with imagination, knowledge and wisdom. It can also be a set of dreams of long- and short-term goals. The mind game starts with the answer to a simple question. Why should this business exist? 

    The answer leads to the mission of the business venture, which will generate the platform from which strategy flows, and defines what needs to be done for the business to exist. If that criterion is not met, we can keep on talking about vision, mission, values and purpose till the opportunity pass away. On the other hand, an ignorant entrepreneur may decide to spend all the money on earth and the business will never start because the foundation is on the sand.  When the entrepreneur puts the vision before the mission it implies that they have the idea which serves as a director. This idea might have lofty ideals with no connection to reality or execution. However, when it clashes subsequently with the main reason for the business venture, the entrepreneur can change the vision to where it is headed, or stubbornly pursue the original vision. The steps we take to ensure business continuity while adapting, sustaining and thriving in the environment are how entrepreneurs shape up business ventures and shape the vision into reality. 

    As the business venture develops, culture develops and a broad outline of where the business is headed starts taking shape. We can take corrective steps to ensure that we are headed in the right direction, mission, strategy, execution, and culture. This is the point where capital and money play crucial roles.

    Manifesting desires in business is a process. It requires patience and the ability to align thinking, thoughts, communication, and action to what can be controlled consistently. How entrepreneur thinks determines how they will be and become from their desire. What entrepreneur becomes is determined by how they do things differently to achieve better and more sustainable results.  

    Entrepreneurs dream ideas to reality and live so that others benefit from their life. Their vision, mission and strategy, light up their gifts and their talent. They use that gift to build businesses that provide solutions to solve man’s problems on earth. They are delighted to share these gifts otherwise it would be an injustice to humanity.

  • Types of Skills for Entrepreneurial Advancement

    Most times entrepreneurs are unaware of their skills, talents, and unique attributes, so they sell themselves short and develop poor self-esteem. All entrepreneurs have skills and are highly talented in their ways. These skills are learned or inherited. They all work together uniquely to make them dominant in their area of the venture. There are three classes of skills required by entrepreneurs for the advancement of their business and they are, functional skills, self-management skills and special knowledge. 

    Functional skills are abilities or talents that are inherited at birth, engraved in our DNA and developed through experience and learning. At birth, we learn to negotiate and sell ourselves through cries and gestures. Mothers recognise the sound of a child’s cry as a message and a negotiation tool for the necessities of life such as food, dry diaper, sleep, tender-loving care and comfort. Our ability to communicate what we think and feel starts with just a cry too. As we grow, the environment uses these inherited talents to improve our cognitive learning, independence and self-determination, physical and spiritual health, as well as social and emotional growth. Attending school allows the entrepreneur to apply these inherited talents to academics and practical situations.

    Self-management skill is the ability to manage our behaviours, thoughts, and emotions consciously and productively. It is the behaviour that is developed in learning to cope with the environment, people and cultures. Self-management means entrepreneurs understand their responsibility in different aspects of their life, and they do what they need to fulfil that responsibility. Someone with strong self-management skills knows what to do and how to act in different situations. For instance, being energetic, determined, resourceful or dependable are entrepreneurial skill sets that enhance business advancement. Self-management is even more important when the key requirement is empowering entrepreneurs to be more innovative and resourceful. When business owners understand their responsibilities, goals, and what it takes to achieve them, they can make better decisions and do their part to achieve the business objectives. Part of effective self-management with empowerment is that entrepreneurs make excellent decisions about when to seek additional help or input. 

    Special knowledge skills are those having to do with mastering a specific body of information related to a particular type of work, profession, occupation, educational, or leisure activity. They are the traits and abilities the entrepreneur possess that make them particularly qualified for carrying out the specialised business venture. They relate directly to technical or practical skills, of a more generalized purpose that makes them useful in many settings. Accounting, medicine, architecture, graphics, ICT, and catering are examples. 

    It takes a combination of all these types of skills to advance a business venture. We can not be experts at everything. Business owners should give themselves credit for all the great things they can do. It is also wise that entrepreneurs evaluate and discuss with their mentors the functional, self-management, and special knowledge skills they have before they pursue a business venture. 

  • Entrepreneurs Must Accept Failures and Be Resilient

    Resilience is the first-time entrepreneur’s worst nightmare. At the start of a business venture, there is always the need to correct things and develop the ability to withstand failures and disappointments and bounce back. Resilience is also the quality of being able to adapt to stressful life changes in business processes, withstanding the tragedy of financial loss, the crisis of management, or other life-altering changes that allow the enterprise to move on despite the failures. 

    Showing resilience in a business venture does not mean that the entrepreneur is unaffected or uncaring about the failure of the enterprise, but it depicts the mind’s ability to suffer and grow from it. Similarly, resilience does not mean that the enterprise will not experience financial stress, emotional upheaval among workers, and shortcomings in the achievement of set goals, but it implies that the entrepreneur can peacefully work through the emotional pain and suffering that business failure presents. Resilience comes from the lessons and skills the entrepreneurs absorb as the business grows up to maturity.

    Entrepreneurs that who make mistakes must learn to either pick themselves up and start again, and apply what they learned from those mistakes, or roll over and give up. Learning how to bounce back from failure is a vital skill for survival of a business venture. Entrepreneurs should learn to develop a thicker skin as they accept mistakes and failures as growth tools and normal life processes. Knowing how to overcome the obstacles blocking them from their goals enables them to learn to rely on their inner strengths and skills to get them through challenging situations. 

    Early in Nigeria,  the cultural and creative industries were not doing well, but recently it has generated considerable economic wealth for the nation because of the resilience of the practitioner, actors, comedians and musicians. Young entrepreneurs in this sector ranked first among those who want to start a new business in Nigeria, but there is a higher rate of established and mature companies adults. This scenario means that nascent entrepreneurs face higher barriers in different because they need more access to information, knowledge, training, or peer-to-peer support networks. Success stories of young entrepreneurs in the creative sector have raised awareness among policymakers to empower youth-led initiatives that produced the support needed to build COVID-19 resilience. Resilience is an invaluable skill throughout the stages of business growth to maturity. Learning resilience will enable entrepreneurs to be undeterred from their visions and mission, regardless of the opposition. 

     In conclusion, becoming more resilient takes time and practice. It involves learning the skills of strong inner conviction, patience, endurance, hope, courage and charity. Mastery of soft skills helps the entrepreneur develop inner peace that sustains the stability of the business and the mental health of the entrepreneur. Choosing to trust in the business conviction, faith, hope and love for quality delivery, rather than rely on what they feel is the best way to stay resilient.

  • How To Stir Up The Lost Entrepreneurial Skills.

    Creating company structure and sticking to it

    A belief is the acceptance of an idea and philosophy as true irrespective of their validity. As entrepreneurs, ideas and knowledge impressed on the mind over the developmental stages of life influence our beliefs and convictions. The eye of the entrepreneur’s mind creates our vision, purpose, or our ability to resolve a problem. However, that does not mean that our beliefs are the universal truth and make sense to everyone else. Usually, the visions and missions of the entrepreneur are foolish to the non-transformed mind.

    The entrepreneur with a transformed mind starts the visualisation process by isolating a problem that affects society. The isolation of a problem is based on empathy and conviction in the belief system operating in them. Entrepreneurs gathered information from books, internet sources, feasibility studies, mentors or maybe inspired by a personal experience. The ATM was invented because people could not withdraw money after banking hours. 

    Through the process of meditation on the problem and the understanding formed from the knowledge gained, a vision of the solution to the problem formed in the entrepreneur’s mind. This vision is sustained by the belief system imprinted in the subconscious mind of the entrepreneur to generate hope and enthusiasm to pursue the possibilities it represents. 

    Sometimes, our own beliefs could be merely liking what we are doing, but having an extreme passion, and blindly following our beliefs is the conviction needed to be successful in a business venture. The more deeply we are attached to our belief system the more hope we have and the more drive we develop for the resilience, endurance and patience required for the growth and dominion of our primary gift. 

    When a person’s mind is poorly programmed for entrepreneurship,  it still does not rule out the possibility that they can still be reprogrammed with the soft skill needed for a successful life in a business venture. The necessary reprogramming requires a transformation which will end the previous sources of information and inputs the subconscious mind with the information to transform the mindset to the entrepreneurial  level. This is the basis of entrepreneurial education. Just like the computer, to change the operating system, the old software must be wiped off and a new one installed. 

    Therefore, for the transformation of the subconscious mind and the change of belief system for entrepreneurship to be stirred up and sustained, keeping good company with experienced entrepreneurs will illuminate the path to recovery and make it easy. Rubbing minds with great thinkers will sharpen the acquired skills for entrepreneurship.

  • Entrepreneurship, A Trait or Created

    It is a known fact that every person living on earth today is a winner. We are the sperm that won the battle of fertilisation of our mother’s egg, either in the womb or test tube. Also, we all agree that our DNA is unique and imbued with a primary trait that will sustain us on earth. The ability of the primary gift to sustain us depends on the environment we find ourselves in at birth and the total influence of our environment on our mind and belief system. Our destiny is determined by the human mind. The quality of knowledge, facts and ideas fed repeatedly by the environment into the conscious mind is downloaded to the subconscious mind to operate our destiny. 

    Therefore, everyone is born with the opportunity to develop their primary gifts which will make them entrepreneurs, but this is to the levels they are shaped by the quality of knowledge, understanding and the environmental stimuli received into our subconscious mind. When those qualities that enhance entrepreneurship are absorbed into the mind repeatedly throughout growth, the trait of entrepreneurship is stimulated through conviction and a belief system into action. So the child sees opportunities for self-actualisation through business ventures and problem-solving.

    No two children born of the same parents and nurtured in the same environment are fed the same software. They are born at different periods, grow up at different rates, and grow up in different locations in the same environment, but receive different signals from their parents that make up their belief system. They grow up with different convictions and different views of the world. That is why the primary gifts which may have become latent due to lack of use have to be stirred up through reprogramming of information sources, discipline, and other life tools and learning soft skills through experiences of environmental factors. The reprogramming creates and awakens the lost entrepreneur traits, but most often it is too late.

  • A Young Entrepreneur Who Wants To Be Great Must Transform The mind

    The earth is filled with treasure, and it is a reservoir of wealth and riches. Every human came to this earth with a primary ability and gift for the service of humanity. No one is useless. Entrepreneurship is one of the ways of exploiting treasures and wealth, while the primary gifts and learned abilities make all creatures unique. When a young entrepreneur emerges with conviction and faith, hope, love and charity direct the exploitation of earth resources, through the building of business ventures. The primary purpose of entrepreneurship is to manage the treasures of the earth’s resources for the benefit of humanity. 

    The mind of man is the operating engine of entrepreneurship, and the belief system is the secret to greatness. Therefore, for young entrepreneurs to be great, they must be transformed into a mindset that makes them custodians of earth resources and not owners. There is the conscious and subconscious mind. The conscious mind is like the desktop and the subconscious is the hard drive of the computer. To transform the operating system of the computer, the software of the hard drive must be changed. In the same way, the subconscious mindset must be changed through the type of knowledge and belief system that is allowed into the mind. Continuous intake of entrepreneurial knowledge, understanding and wisdom, followed by networking with successful entrepreneurs the change of mindset can be achieved.

    Entrepreneurs do not see with their eyes, they see by their beliefs. The mind visualizes the needs of society, acquires knowledge behind the identified needs and deciphers the guidelines and operating standards to develop an understanding of how to use the knowledge to solve the identified problems. Entrepreneurs can only operate and develop a business venture with a changed mindset, by the application of knowledge and understanding of the problem.

    The transformed mindset has profound responsibilities that demand the sustainable management of the goods and services required to solve human problems and increase the quality of life on earth. No matter the circumstances, the entrepreneur’s mindset must not freeze the energy to see opportunities around society.

    All humans are born winners, but we must win life’s game. If a student hates the teacher, they will probably struggle. If citizens hate their nation, their minds will mask the best treasures the nation can offer. Greatness comes when the young entrepreneur wins the mind through transformation and change of habits. For greatness to be sustainable, the young entrepreneur should be the boss by their own state of mind.
