One of the foremost experts in small business is the well-known author and speaker, Michael Gerber. I have had the opportunity of attending one of Michael's presentations and he is a very impressive speaker. I have also purchased and listened to the audio version of E-Myth Mastery by Mr. Gerber. His work should be must reading or listening to all aspiring entrepreneurs.
The Webster definition of entrepreneur is "one who organizes and assumes the risk of a business or enterprise." I want to extend that definition by adding what it means to me.
Being an entrepreneur means taking responsibility. If you own your business, you will work with a passion in order to survive. Why not approach every aspect of your life as an entrepreneur?
For starters, how about thinking of yourself as the "organizer and risk assumer" of all that you do? Having a balanced life by having the right emphasis and effort given to your family life, work, faith life, recreational life, and all aspects of your life requires the entrepreneurial spririt.
If you approach your job and your career as an entrepreneur, even though you work for someone else, you will be successful. If you take an entrepreneurial approach to your private life, you will find some peace and comfort in all that you do.
Being passionate is not limited to business and money. It applies to all of your responsibilities. Go for it!
