Entrepreneurship Myth #1: Entrepreneurship is Easy.
Many believe that it is easy to start a business when you see entrepreneurs who are successful earning plenty of money, but what they didn't see is the difficulties they went through. If they see an establishment that is successful and has a lot of patrons and think that a successful establishment requires skilled chefs, delicious food, cool surroundings, and facilities in a bustling place, they're very wrong.
This is why they think of opening an eatery with more features than the one they have already established. However, they aren't sure if they will see their own success in the same way as the restaurant. It is due to other factors that fall into play. You need to consider marketing, training, R&D, Human Resource Systematization, and so on. Entrepreneurship appears straightforward on the surface however, it's not.
Entrepreneurship Myth #2: Entrepreneurship is Difficult.
I can think of you saying "What? You've said that it's not an easy task, and now you claim it's not hard? Aren't you contradicting yourself?"
Oops. Sorry to mislead you But I haven't contradicted myself. It's not an easy task however, it's not hard either.
Like erecting a building, requires time as well as effort. It is a matter of investing time in learning how to start a business and then putting in the effort to implement the knowledge you have acquired.
It's not hard provided you've got a winning strategy. Success is a clue. In the event that you've got a strategy that you can follow series of proven actions that you can follow as well as a mentor to guide you and guide you when off-track Things won't be so difficult as it appears since you'll be aware that there is help available to seek out when you require.
Entrepreneurship Myth No. 3: Failure rates are very high.
Statistics have revealed the fact that 95% of firms fail within the first five years while 95% of the businesses remaining will fail over the following 5 years.
So, based on the data and analyzing the data, we can conclude that the failure rate is high. But, your success as an entrepreneur shouldn't be measured by numbers. Statistics are useless and only numbers. Your success is your performance and not by statistics or probabilities.
In all aspects of life whether in college, business, or sports activities, the percentage of people who fail is always more than the number of people who succeed in it. The higher the prize and the more prestigious the award, the fewer number of winners. Therefore, it's common to see a large number of failed awards as well as a smaller percentage of people who succeed.
Your role as an entrepreneur is to strive toward becoming the top 1percent of successful entrepreneurs. You must also study the ways to be one in the top one percent and not to be one of the lowest 99 percent. Learn from successful entrepreneurs and you'll know that you're in the right direction towards the top 1percent.
Entrepreneurship Myth #4: High risk.
Risk is defined as "not knowing what you're doing". The risk is in every aspect. There is a chance of getting sick from eating fish balls. There is a risk of driving in a car.
It is impossible to completely eliminate risk However, we can limit risks by learning about them and being aware of how to act and how to proceed.
You are less at risk of being choked by an unintentional fishing ball than a six-month-old baby because you are able to swallow your food and chew it. The best method to lower your risk and increase your chances of success is to adhere to the guidelines (footsteps) of those who have succeeded in achieving what you'd like to achieve. They've taken a high risk to draw out the blueprint. All you need to do is get the blueprint and follow it. Of course, the secrets to success aren't shared widely You must request them yourself. However, I can inform you there are truly friendly and helpful instructors who will share the secrets of their success.
Myth 5 of Entrepreneurship I need a large sum of money to begin an enterprise.
It's not a mistake. A huge amount of money is needed to establish a business using the brick-and-mortar method. The cost of renovation and rent is likely to be in the hundreds of thousands, not including the items and supplies you will need to store at your warehouse and the salary of your employees too(if you employ). These are expenses that you will have to cover regardless of whether you have sold something or not. Therefore, it is the case that you require a huge sum of money to begin.
But it is also a myth. Things have changed, and we're in the Internet age today. There are many new opportunities to be an entrepreneur but without the traditional bricks mortar and mortar approach. You can become an online entrepreneur, and I've personally known entrepreneurs on the internet who earned several figures of income in their homes. It's a venture that can be created without expensive rental costs, without the storage of products, and possibly without the need for employees as well. Network marketing can also allow you to start your business with minimal expenses for investment. Therefore I can conclude that it's not necessary to put up a huge sum of money in order to start an enterprise.
Entrepreneurship Myth #6: I'm not a born Entrepreneur.
There is no Bill Gates (Founder of Microsoft) and neither is Robert Kiyosaki (author of RichDad, PoorDad) and neither are I born entrepreneurs. Many believe that those who run successful businesses are because of their parents being successful entrepreneurs and that entrepreneurship success is in the blood. But, I am able to say that this is an absolute falsehood since billionaire Robert Kiyosaki's actual father is a professor (that's the reason he named him Poor Dad). ...)
There is no one who is born as a businessperson. The reason some people succeed in with their parents' businesses as well or even be successful entrepreneurs, is due to the fact that they acquire entrepreneurial skills such as selling management, leadership, marketing, and communication as young. They also interact with others who are entrepreneurial (like their parents who are successful) or who has created several successful businesses.
So, instead of pondering that you're not a natural entrepreneur, consider how you can become an entrepreneur now by acquiring the abilities and networking with other entrepreneurs to find out more about their business. Keep in mind that your Net-Work is what you earn.
Entrepreneurship Myth 7 It is said that you can be an Entrepreneur only if you're rich.
Okay, we could discuss this topic previously in Myth 5. 5. In Myth #5, we mentioned that being an entrepreneur isn't a large amount of money, especially with the advancements in technology available today. In fact, you could build an Internet marketing or Network marketing company, instead of a large-investment brick and mortar company. So, you don't have to invest thousand of dollars in order to become a business owner. It is possible to start your Internet and Network Marketing business for under $200.
A lot of people believe that they'll launch an enterprise when they're wealthy. However, the majority of people will not begin a business during their entire lives because they won't have the funds to invest in it. If you're looking to begin your own business, I would suggest starting funding an Internet as well as Network marketing venture, since it's a business that can do part-time, and doesn't require a huge capital investment. You should then set aside a set amount of money to make the business's investment, whether in training or business expenses that will allow you to manage an Internet or Network marketing business part-time.
