You’re considering entrepreneurship. How do you know if it’s the right choice for you?

I made a big life pivot 6 years ago, leaving Pharma for entrepreneurship. Best thing I could have done. If you're considering this change, you have to be willing to bet on yourself 1000%. Unlike a corporate handout, nobody will hand you anything and it's completely up to you. For hunters, that's liberating. For those that like it easy, it's horrifying. Once you set yourself free, you will not relate to the person "working for the man." That old life will feel suffocating. If you can hunt, you will thrive.

Wanting to become an entrepreneur relies heavily on the type of personality you have, and seizing the right opportunity. You should be immensely passionate about your product, and need to be 100% in to make it work. You have to understand the risks, and know that you are solely responsible for the success or failure of the company, because no one else is going to do the work for you.

You will never know until you know... I think everyone should take one step in every direction he/she could think of, taking one step will open your mind for different opportunities, which shall explode more ideas into your mind, if one of these ideas were to be independent and to be a free soul and you felt like you would like to build your empire, this would be your green flag to kick off your career as an entrepreneur

Deciding if entrepreneurship is right for you involves self-reflection and consideration of several factors. Consider your tolerance for risk, your passion for the business idea, your ability to handle uncertainty, and your willingness to commit long hours with potentially delayed financial rewards. Nothing is guaranteed.

I believe everyone has what it takes to be an entrepreneur. However, being an entrepreneur involves making many hard decisions every time. Not everyone might be willing to do this. Particularly, if your ‘why’ is not strong. I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur, since I was 14, because I was convinced that it’s a great path to wealth creation. I’m now also convinced that entrepreneurship is a solid path to solving most of the humanity’s problems. This convictions led me to found 2 businesses so far, and set me on a mission to empower entrepreneurs to maximize value and lead purposeful lives.

After writing down my 20 reasons WHY, I picked 5 that I know I have the skills to support my why I do this by leveraging skills that have shown proven results, and by incorporating feedback from other people The book I read, 'StrengthsFinder 2.0' by Tom Rath, has helped me to further discover my strengths and weaknesses, which increasing my awareness of my skills.

Starting out a business as an entrepreneur means doing everything alone at the beginning. That is why you need a solid base in terms of the skills you have. And yes it is important to learn and upskill yourself so that you can thrive better in the entrepreneurial world.

Normalmente un emprendedor se forma de una persona técnicamente buena en un área que quiere resolver un problema, sin embargo para convertir una solución a un problema en un negocio se debe estar dispuesto a aprender nuevas habilidades y esencialmente en negocios, hay que preguntarse si estamos dispuestos a transformarnos o buscar cofounder qué nos complementen en nuestras debilidades.

You must start with a personal evaluation of your skills for the business, in the personal and technical areas, so that you can establish if Are you prepared or not, and what do you need to be ready? You also need to know where to generate those skills and in what time. Here it is important to analyze if it is worth investing resources in this or if it is better to change your business ide

Un recurso que he encontrado muy valioso y que lamentablemente no tenía cuando inicie es una red de contactos que me permita realizar esas primeras presentaciones de venta. Un gran producto no es suficiente si no encuentras a quien mostrarlo, es por eso que si consideras ser un emprendedor más adelante inicia en este momento a construir una red de contactos para cuando llegue el momento poder tener acceso a las personas que quieres llegar. LinkedIn es una de esas herramientas que permite crearte una red de contactos que sirve para negocios.

I agree. You need to ask yourself: How much of yourself are you willing to put into the business? It is important to evaluate what you have so that you can know what you need to go find. That will help you gather enough resources to implement your work.

I ask myself this 2 important question to evaluate my resources: 1. How much time and effort am I willing to invest? 2. If I pursue entrepreneurship, how would I feel? This question helps deepen my connection to entrepreneurship. In my case, high-speed internet, a laptop, a table, and a chair are the top four resources I need to start my entrepreneurship.

En mi experiencia como emprendedor he encontrado que el ser parte del equipo clave de nuestro cliente es una de las mejores formas para validar la idea, para lograrlo debes de convencer a tu cliente que eres parte de su equipo y no solo un proveedor de un producto o servicio, que vas a estar ahí para ayudarle en lo que se necesite y no solo con el alcance porque ahí es cuando puedes ver las necesidades globales de la empresa y en que áreas estas realmente impactando con tu solución. Debes de estar dispuesto a pivotar tu idea si encuentras que no se está agregando el suficiente valor. Otra forma de validar la idea es cobrando por esos servicios esa es una buena forma de saber si agregas valor a tu cliente.

Just remember the NIHITO principle: Nothing Important Happens In The Office Go out and test your idea with your target audience. And LinkedIn is probably the best tool that we have.

Do some homework to understand your market - who needs what you're offering, who else is doing something similar, and what's trending. Next, chat with potential customers. What do they like? What don't they have? Would they buy your product? Lastly, make a simple version of your product, your MVP. This is just to show your idea in action and get real feedback. It's all about making sure your idea isn't just cool but also something people will use and pay for.

Making the wrong decisions in the strategy and direction of your venture can jeopardize not only your investment but also your reputation as an entrepreneur. To minimize the risk: ? Deeply Analyze the Market: Understand its nuances, challenges, and opportunities. A complete understanding of your environment is crucial. ? Put Yourself in Your Customer's site: Understanding their needs, wants, and concerns from their perspective. ? Choose Your Assets Strategically: Recognize and maximize the resources at your disposal. Select carefully and strengthen your strengths. Dedicating time to carefully choose the direction of your venture is fundamental; a misstep can ruin your chances of success. Devote time and effort to this crucial task.

Empreender é uma jornada desafiadora, muitas vezes solitária e com certeza bastante árdua. Ter em mente os objetivos e a raz?o pela qual empreende é o que te manterá sóbrio - nos fracassos mas nos sucesso também! A jornada está valendo a pena?

>> Know when to fold 'em. Grit is essential, but quitting can be a superpower too. Understanding why something isn't working allows you to strategically decide if it's time to move on. This saves time and resources. >> Building a business is a marathon, not a sprint. By taking a measured approach, surrounding yourself with the right people, and being adaptable, you'll increase your chances of success.

Be prepared to pivot swiftly. The needs of your clients take precedence over your initial idea. Adaptability is paramount in entrepreneurship. From personal experience, I understand the challenge of letting go of cherished ideas and "killing your darlings". However, it's far more cost-effective to acknowledge failures early and pivot rapidly.

Entrepreneurship is lonely and it's trial and error. If you are anchored in your purpose you will be positioned where you need to be. Be prepared to pivot in business. You always have to be in alignment, and sometimes that means you can not hold on to things that aren't working.

I’ll add that, over and above all, one should seek God’s guidance and blessings throughout the journey. I find that for a successful journey, one has to work as though everything depends on only one’s efforts, and pray as though everything depends on only God.

>> Build your support system. There will be moments of doubt. Having a network, mentor, or coach can make a world of difference. >> Be financially realistic. Understand how long you can sustain yourself before seeing returns. Initial growth may require reinvestment of profits. >> Be open to adaptation. The best businesses evolve. Be prepared to learn, refine your idea, and find the perfect blend of market need and your creative solution. >> Embrace iteration. You won't have all the answers at once. Take small, actionable steps, gather insights, adapt, and iterate. Gradually, you'll reach your desired destination.
