He: These days, calling oneself an entrepreneur is the in-thing. Its a fashion statement. People who don't even know the spelling of 'entrepreneur' aim to become one...
Me: One doesn't need to know the spellings to be one!
This was recent conversation I had with a friend. He definitely isn't one of those who either IS or aims TO-BE an entrepreneur. In fact, that's precisely where his statement came from. Because people who did it, doing it, plan to do it, or failed once - knows.. It's much more than a statement!!!
And those who just make statements, are questioned and muted.
Me: And what about those who know the spellings??? Do they know what it is?
In fact, I believe there are many entrepreneurs around us, whether they embrace the label or not.
Everyone is an entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurship means taking responsibility for yourself (and sometimes others). It means you assume that there won’t be anyone there to hand you a reliable paycheck, nor will there be anyone else to make sure you’re on a suitable career path. How many such people are you aware of?
Don't tell me 'You don't have an idea'... every one has! But most ideas stink. And some great sounding ideas start stinking after you start executing them. And if you don't even have an idea, you need to take a break in life and ponder over your objective of existing.
Knowing the spelling of 'entrepreneur' doesn't make you one... and passing statements over 'statement passers' don't make you cool.
