Why You Should Be A Business Person (1)

If you are the type that like freedom,if you want to be your own boss
or calling the shots. If you want to set your life or if you enjoy
working at your schedule. I think this article is for you.
I came across this piece and I want to share it with you. The title is
"IT PAYS TO BE AN ENTREPRENEUR" by Rev. Sam Adeyemi
He said "Over the past seven years of counselling young people on
business related issues, one question has kept recurring: is it better
to own business or to work for other people? There are no easy answers
because circumstances are usually not the same; but few satisfactions
should throw some light.
In the United States of America entrepreneurs represent 99.7% of all
employers. I believe very sincerely that Nigerian has come to a point
where there should be no job seekers and unemployed people. There
should always be people who will provide the jobs. We are redefining
what being a role model in Daystar, by being entrepreneurs. Being an
entrepreneur is being a pioneer, creative, innovative, someone who
provides new services and products.
Entrepreneurs create jobs for other people, and bring down
unemployment rate. In the United States for instance, it is not the
government that creates jobs but the people."
Rev Sam gave some interesting stats in the US "Entrepreneurs there
employ about 53% of the private workforce, 47% of all sales; provide
55% of innovation, and represents 96% of all exporters."
But in Nigeria its a different story because we import more than
export "Nigeria is in debt because it imports more than it exports. In
a few years time, it should be exporting more than it's importing,
which will depend on the entrepreneurs."
He talked on finding a business to start with. He said "
Focus on solving a problem or meeting a need, and you can easily
identify the problems or needs in the society by checking out your own
needs. What are the things you need that are not available? In a
sense, your needs are everybody's needs. Most of the things you need,
most other people also need.
For example, if you need a toothbrush for your teeth in the morning,
there are many other people who need to brush their teeth too. If you
need soap, every other person also needs soap. If you are a student
and you need notebooks, other students need notebooks. What many
people consider to be insurmountable problems are usually gems of
opportunities waiting to be packaged into ideas that would bless
people.
Napoleon Hill, one of my favorite authors, once said that in every
problem, there is always an equivalent seed of benefits; we only need
to look closely to find the seed.
In a sense, your needs reflect every other's needs. My advice is that
you simply focus on solving problems; you will be amazed at how many
business your ideas can generate."
Rev. Sam said our interest matters. He said something about starting
in your current line of interest. In his word "
It is very likely you will start your business in your current line
of interest. One of the places where people are defeated is often in
starting where they know nothing about, and this defeats one's
confidence. It is usually difficult to make a mark outside your area
of assignments. It, therefore, makes sense to start from your area of
competence and interest. If you are a journalist, look closely around
you, you will discover problems you can package into business ideas;
if you are sportsman, there are many problems awaiting your
intervention. There is no career that is inferior. If you try to add
value to the services you render to people, they will always put you
on their priority list. This is guaranteed."
