Ownership

Ownership can be viewed differently. However, I believed the best form of owner ship is personal. Having your own business or property gives you the opportunity to make decision that cannot be made if you are not the personal owner, You can have a progressive plan as to where you want to see your investment in five, ten or fifteen years. 

Moreover, you can employ others to help you get there. Personal ownership protects the owner from certain level of rivalry. It helps you to be assertive and creates the entrepreneurial flair that many big companies lacks today.  Persons are working cooperatively but there isn't a driving power behind the performance with that vested interest to make and demand things to happen. With our highly competitive environment and fast pace technological environment personal ownership is a must. That is what Bill Gates had initially.

Although there may be another flip side to personal owner ship. If the owner is not knowledgeable and appears to be big headed and fails to be instructed or refused instruction; this is a detriment to personal ownership.  That level of humility is a key factor in ownership of any model.

However, ownership is something to thrive for. Whether if is lands,homes, real estate or any business the returns are encouraging and worth the time, labour and energy that it requires to produce success.

An Idea is worth one million dollars!

We have a  problem! In fact this has been going on for quite a number of years and it gets worst an worst every day. The by-products derived are both good and bad. In case you didn't know what this problem is its called "hard times" but on the bright side there is a saying which says tough times don't last but tough people do! On that note its time to switch gears.

How can we solve this problem, perhaps you just did. We all have a brain so we just have to use it, unless you are in a temporary or permanent vegetative state. It simple; THINK! how hard is that? Be aware of your surroundings. Its said that  music is a universal language but I summit to you that, thinking can be classified as a universal language, if you see where am coming from. We all have ideas ever so often so why not use it. What is stopping us from using it? THINK! 

Creativity plays a pivotal role in one's idea, it is the sugar in the tea, the engine in a vehicle. Its the magic! You will be amazed at a thought can lead to. Remember its not how you start it how you end.   

How many of us are sitting down on your million dollars, your future, your bread and butter, a fortune etc. think big, think small, above all think creative.

LEADERSHIP- an important element in Entrepreneurship

What is leadership? It is the ability to lead a group of people or organisation. Now we have that out the way, how can that ability help in entrepreneurship. 

If you are not a leader you are a follower, with regards to being an entrepreneur if you are follower and I can assure you that you will be left behind. Entrepreneurs cannot be reactive they have to be proactive.

 Being a leader there are certain skills that one must posses such as being able to think strategically, managing time wisely, communicating effectively etc. you must be determine having a desire for success as a leader.

With these skills as a leader your chances of being successful are heightened.

What do I See Entrepreneurs doing for SVG?

Entrepreneurship involves  giving  back. This is done in various forms from charity ,relief, helping people and the list goes on. In SVG there are quite a few entrepreneurs who have been doing well some still struggling others not so much. But am here to tell you what they're doing!

They provide many essential services, food, shelter, clothing, transportation, technology just to name a few of course at a price.They give back! Many social activities are sponsored domestically and  by extension regionally. They give to charity: donating books to schools and assistance to the less fortunate. The most recent incident I can recall is the Christmas flood the struck many if not all  by surprise. Most if not all of our entrepreneurs did there part in helping in which ever way they can.

It will be remiss of me not to acknowledged our entrepreneurs in SVG. I must give them a thumbs up for what they have been doing and will continue to do.
