Myths About Entrepreneurs

(Part 2)

Are you scared to become an entrepreneur

because of what people say about what it

“really” takes to become an entrepreneur and

you afraid you don’t have all those qualities?

There are so many myths & misconceptions

surround entrepreneurship that mislead

people about what it’s like to engage in it

and who the entrepreneur supposed to be

Myth: Bigger Risk = Bigger Reward

A good entrepreneur knows that not ALL

high-risk situations produce great rewards

– only some of them really does

Entrepreneurs are calculated risk-takers

and would not blindly get themselves into

something risky that they have no control

over the outcomes

Entrepreneurship Is Only

For The Young

Entrepreneurship can start at any age, as

long as you have the passion for it

Your chance of success is not, and

will never be, limited by your age

Statistics have shown that older people

are more likely to be successful with

entrepreneurship

This is because older people have something

that the young don’t: Experience

If you go into the industry that you’ve

worked for many years, it’s obvious that

your understanding of the business will be

way ahead of those youngsters who step into

it for the first time

Entrepreneurship Can’t Be Taught

If you only refer to the teaching

inside classrooms, obviously it would

not be enough because what you

learn is quantified & certain while

the real world is not like that at all

However, if you can combine the teachings

you receive in a classroom about

entrepreneurship with the skills that you

obtained through real life situations, that’s

when you have the perfect recipe for a

successful entrepreneur
