Entrepreneurship turns us into being a BOSS by Deborah Allen

By
Entrepreneurship - the activity of setting up a business or businesses, taking on financial risks in the hope of profit. Entrepreneurship turns us into being a BOSS. It requires that you bring your boss mentality forward and build. Entrepreneurship is definitely not for the faint-hearted. Many people do not understand the work, finances, sacrifice, resources, and tenacity it takes to start and grow a business. Most importantly you must be business minded, as well as boss minded. Your mindset is everything as you plan, start, nurture and develop your business. As an entrepreneur, you are the vision for the business. It’s detrimental that you know the plan and mission for the business. Everything the company is, are going to be, will be birthed from the plan you have for it. This is a huge undertaking and should be taken on with great thought and consideration. It’s easy to say you are the boss but to take full ownership of everything that happens in your business can be unsettling. You are the business and most likely you will be the one to put most of the capital into it. The boss must be a leader and lead by example. By being the boss you set the pulse for the business. I truly believe that leaders lead at all times. As you lead with wisdom your staff will follow. As a boss you must operate to be successful for yourself and the staff that is depending on you to provide employment. Boss build a solid team around you. Be a great boss.
Business is definitely a huge risk that comes with uncertainty. When you become an entrepreneur you must boss all the way up. Be willing and able to make the hard decisions that comes from being the leader. Do not push your responsibility off on others for you are the brand of your business. Entrepreneurship can and does come with loss & struggles. Most of the time when starting off there is no profit. Boss, it can also cost you everything. As the boss, you take the greatest risk of all. Know if there is no pain no glory. As the boss, the financial responsibility lies with you ultimately. The boss is responsible to pay the staff and taxes on the business. As the boss, you must pay your staff even if you do not get paid. There are many businesses that start but close within the first three years of opening. Operating capital can wipe out boss finances. But work the vision you have boss. Walk the process out. Boss be confident and your confidence will inspire your staff and others around you.

Entrepreneurship definitely requires you to be responsible.  Boss make sure you lead with integrity. Be honorable and steady. People put their lives as well as their family lives in your hands. Bosses walk your business plans out. Be courageous and lead without fear & be the boss.
