HOW TO BECOME AN ENTREPRENEUR
Every person has a calling or an assignment in life. It is called purpose. Unfortunately many people die and never found out what their purpose in life was. Those of us who are still alive have a chance to discover our calling and act upon it. In order to embrace one’s calling one has to first know what that calling is. God has called us to first be His disciples. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age" (Matthew 28:18-20).
When you discover your purpose you can kiss your hypocritical co-workers, unjust boss, ungrateful customers and clients and stress to the curb or good-bye. Finding your purpose is finding the work you love, joy, peace, fulfillment and freedom that will make you unstoppable. Once a people know their calling the must put knowledge to action. This means to do whatever it takes to fulfill the calling. Each individual is called for a different purpose and should dedicate quality time to that purpose. Sadly some people look t what other are doing and want to do what they see others doing, but they fail to recognize that they too have unique assignments. If only they would just use their imagination, dig deep enough within themselves and find out what their calling is, they would be further ahead in life.
They would find unlimited possibilities and resources. The doors are wide open and opportunities are available to everyone. I decided to become an Entrepreneur because I have always believed that, “God created a world of plenty†for all His people to enjoy. He said several time that we should be fruitful and multiply. Here is one verse: And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth Genesis 1:28 (KJV). People who take the route of entrepreneurial ship often become wealthy. They become wealthy, because the apply principles that work. They capitalize on the concept of Compound Interest and create leverage and multiplication. In Net web or Network Marketing there are principles that when followed they produce remarkable results. An entrepreneur learns the rules of building relationships. They know their target market. They network with others by sharing ideas and working collaboratively. Entrepreneurs learn recruiting skills know how to connect with others.
Being fruitful means taking action to find out what your purpose is in this life and to engage yourself fully in that purpose, not in somebody else’s. Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life (Ecclesiastes 5:18).
Entrepreneurs are not fly by night, get rich people, they are hard working people who burn the midnight oil while others are sleeping, watching Television or are goofing off some where. Entrepreneurs put the principle into action that says when you find the work you love, you will never get tired of doing it. You would do it even if you do not get paid. Your energy will be renewed to accomplish every task. When Marianne Williamson said:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.â€
She was talking about you and me. May I suggest that you do yourself a favor and begin to look inside the mirror of your soul and see the wonderful, strong, powerful, capable and good individual you are. Do not waste another moment, make the decision to get out of the pit like Joseph did and live an abundant life: “I will satisfy the priests with abundance, and my people will be filled with my bounty, declares the LORD†(Jeremiah 31:14) NIV.
Entrepreneur means that you are minding your own business and you are serving mankind to advance the Kingdom of God. There are many benefits to being an entrepreneur: Tax privilege, free time, taking the vacation that you have always dreamed of, having flexibility to spend more quality time with your family, watch your children get on and off the school bus or to take them to and from school, to help out a needy person, time to volunteer in your community.
