     Entrepreneurship is the capacity and willingness to develop, organize, and manage a business venture along with any of its risks to make a profit. So, the individual who creates this business and willing to take the risks is an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is usually seen as the innovator and source of new ideas for goods and services as well as for business operations. 

     Being an entrepreneur is stressful and the success rate is not all that encouraging. But why do people want to become entrepreneurs or wanted to have their own businesses? It could either be that working a job is not enough in terms of financial, time constraints and challenges, or personal fulfillment. Some sorted to home-based business to be with family and to avoid traffic problems in their area.

     What could be the signs that it is time to make a transition from being an employee to becoming an entrepreneur?

1) You have a passion for work but not a job.

A specific business that can give you enjoyment and personal rewards or satisfaction. Have your own ideas on how this specific business should work without setting a particular schedule and workload.

2) You have thought a lot about that specific business.

You are sick and tired of thinking about it. Dreaming enough of it about how you would take charge, lead people and follow your own set of rules. 

3) You have that virtue of helping others.

A desire to create jobs and to give someone an opportunity or job. There is an indescribable feeling of helping others.

4) You have backup support.

There are people around you supporting your ideas and willing to have your back while you are risking out to accomplish your goals. You have these people that will ensure your food and shelter and a shoulder to cry on while you are trying a different route.

5) You have that One Great Big Idea for ventures.

You have that great idea to sell something that has an improvement on what is already available in the market. You have that obsession for a new idea to build a better product or service.

6) You have got a Marketing Plan or Feasibility Study.

To achieve that dream venture you should have a plan based on market research, budgeting, financing, and projected income. This plan serves as a guide to making your vision a reality.

7) You have a strong backup plan.

There should be a strong backup plan to pursue if your first venture failed. This plan should keep you afloat until you could try again. Never put all your eggs in one basket. If you have this backup plan you will not be afraid of failures with your business venture.

Make a list of all these signs and determine if you are ready to become an entrepreneur.

Entrepreneurship: Different Types of Individual

🖌by April Brews

     Entrepreneurship comes from the French word "entreprende", which means "to undertake". It simply means starting a business that places an emphasis on the innovation of new products, markets, production/operation methods, and forms of organization. Entrepreneurship is the capacity and willingness of a person to develop, organize, and manage a business venture along with any of its risks to make a profit. It is characterized by innovation and risk-taking. Most of the time, it is scary since people who will venture into a business have no certainty about the success of the business. It is in this uncertainty that people tend to shy away or be afraid to go into business. But sometimes, the question lies in the attitude of a person towards the opportunity at hand.

  According to Joey Concepcion of GoNegosyo, there are three different types of individuals:the HARD PRESSED, the ORDINARY, and the SUCCESSFUL. Though they were all created with unique talents and abilities, there is still a big disparity among them. So let us describe these disparities as mentioned.

1) THE HARD PRESSED ATTITUDE: "I was born poor, I will die poor as a rat"

     Man's Action: "I cannot do something about it, it was the government's fault."
                  
     Think about these things:  Why is it most of the people who complain about unemployment are busy drinking or chatting around sari-sari stores day-in and day-out?


2) THE ORDINARY ATTITUDE: "I am what I am today, it's alright for me until tomorrow, my luck will eventually come."

     Man's Action:  "Let the day unfolds on me, I will try my luck betting on a lotto, I might win the jackpot prize."

     Think about these things: Why is it that people line up very early in the morning outside the betting stations to take their chances at games instead of enrolling in free vocational courses from TESDA or some private institutions? 


3) THE SUCCESSFUL ATTITUDE: "Life is getting difficult each day. I need to find ways so we can be promoted from these difficulties."
                              
     Man's Action:" I am going to talk to my contacts in the office, I will serve packed lunch. Anyway, my Mom's recipe is  superb."

     Think about these things: Notice the so many "manangs and ates" delivering corporate lunches to buildings or offices that do not have canteens or inexpensive lunches. And take notice of those housewives selling commodity goods online, even some organization that prepares food for people on dietary programs.

  The Successful attitude is a Dreamer, dreaming to get out of their present situation of difficulties. He is a Believer, knowing that taking action about their present situation will lead them to something better. He is an Achiever, for a person with the right attitude, open-mindedness, positivity, a doer of what he dreams of will surely achieve what he aims for.

    There are opportunities everywhere, some people even took the disaster or uneventful happenings into opportunities. Remember some people who took the initiative to do business out of lahar in Pampanga and Zambales. Creating something beautiful from nothing is also one trademark of an entrepreneur. Entrepreneur creates and innovates. To start a business means you have to start within your level of skill and interest, then find out the best skills and interests there are. It takes time and effort to really find the best and bigger ideas to match what is not yet being offered in the market.

Ready for a Shopping Online?

     Time has changed so are the buying habits of people. Scouring the malls for good buys, preparation, traffic, time, and exhaustion entails buying items that we want, all of these give us the convenience of buying online. 

But how safe it is for the buying public as well as for the online sellers?
 

     Most people are skeptical when a site is asking for a credit card or shies away since they do not own one. Even a Paypal seller's account required you to have a credit card account to avail of their services, but having one for your credit card is safer on Paypal buyers Online sellers make use of direct deposits to their accounts through established banks, payment centers, or convenient stores. 

But the question is how safe and how reliable the online sellers are and that the ordered items will be delivered as promised?

     Sites are acting as intermediaries for online sellers and buyers, as well as sites with links to the secured system for accepting credit cards such as Verisign. Buyers can buy items through sites with multiple sellers through credit cards, direct deposits through banks, and payment centers (Dragonpay.) Trusted online selling sites also lessen the hassle for sellers in looking for couriers in delivering the items and promoting the products as well. The buyers are also protected from their sellers in case of undelivered or damaged items. Gone are the days of meetups in delivering the goods thus putting both the sellers and buyers at risk and avoiding bogus people enjoying our hard-earned money without the promised goods. So before you buy or deliver the items make sure you have made some research and investigation as to the site acting as an intermediary or the seller itself.

Making Money Online Through Clixsense

     When I got online five years ago, I was looking for ways how to earn online. The Internet has just started to boom then, and various internet cards proliferate the market. Then came the broadband wave with some router or phone equipment and DSL until we now have a broadband stick and Wi-Fi to choose from. I have tried all these, looking for possible money online. I have found some sites offering links to become affiliates of this and that to earn. Some are free and for some, you have to invest some money. Sadly, I couldn't find one until I gave up. I almost forgot about my blog site, the blogger. 

     Two years ago I stumbled upon my own blog site when I searched my name on Google. I don't know how I could open it, it was hacked maybe. I find ways to get it back and so I did. I started blogging again, and more opportunities are available than before. Some are paid, some are free, some are for trials for a certain day, and some are links to help your blog site or website to bring readers in. As you can see on your right side, there are links to increase viewership, sponsors, adlinks, pay-per-click, etc. On the top page are banner ads. For now, I am going to tell you about Clixsense, how it works and how to earn money from it. For all of these, it won't take much of your time and it would probably only take you 10 minutes.
