Things I learnt from the entrepreneurs

The talk of the entrepreneurs is very inspiring despite the fact that there is not much possibility that I will become an entrepreneur (at least I won’t do the business stuff myself...).


From their talk, at least I’ve learnt three things that not only apply for entrepreneurs.


One is motivation. Entrepreneurs are all highly motivated people and they all know what they want to do. Before they succeeded, they spent most of their time trying to clear the obstacles and survive. After they have settled down and let the company operate normally, they still think hard about how to make the company grow large and how to compete with others. Motivation is a force to push themselves to the limit. Whatever things a person that want to do and do well, he/she needs such a force and keep the force with them.


The second is persistence. Many entrepreneurs won’t become successful at first time and they may encounter bankruptcy or other serious issues. But sadly, they need to save themselves and it is really up to themselves whether they want to continue or not. Therefore persistence is really important. Moreover, persistence also applies for non-entrepreneurs. To keep the quality of the work good, we need to constantly put a lot of effort; to keep a good habit, we need to repeat it frequently. Otherwise, we cannot finish things strong.


The third is caring about the world. Entrepreneurs are those people that solve others’ problems. Before they find the problem, they need to know what is happening in the world and who needs help. For non-entrepreneurs, maybe they cannot set up a company and solve a big problem, but they are still able to care about others and help them — for free. This is enjoyable and also important because we have the same goal — to make the world better! :)
