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
