Is Entrepreneurship For You?

It appears that entrepreneurship is big business!! Our Universities are selling their Entrepreneurship programs like crazy, with the University of Sydney holding a symposium on the subject earlier this year.  Governments all over the world are hard at work fostering entrepreneurship and the explosion of information regarding it is available through magazines, e-zines and prolific blogging.  What could possibly have caused this interest?  Well, entrepreneurs have led the United States out of every recession for the last 100 years and it appears that this will occur again.  On the site Entrepreneurship.org, Barack Obama has been quoted as saying “The answer is not heavy-handed regulations that crush the entrepreneurial spirit and risk-taking of American capitalism– that’s what’s made our economy great– but it is to restore a sense of balance.”

Recently, speaking at a Telstra breakfast, Andrew Griffiths, Small Business and Entrepreneurialism Expert, provided a number of ways that you can bullet proof your business and he also said that after every recession/downturn there is an equal or greater upturn and the smart entrepreneur is watching for the wave and gets onto it early. In May this year, Andrew said that the upturn is coming and to get onto that wave now.  Wow – are you ready for the wave?

Is entrepreneurship for you or will you just let that wave slide right by? There are a number of ways that you can be sure to be on that wave, starting with having passion and enthusiasm for something.  You know there are  great stories of success right now, even with the apparent world wide financial slump.  For example, the combination of sport, fantasy, passion and enthusiasm has created a niche that appears to be recession proof.  Same for personal development programs which have created a 19 billion worldwide market over the last year, in spite of the economy of the time.  Want to know more about that opportunity?

In essence, what I am saying is that coming out of an economic downturn is prime time for those with a bit of  entrepreneurship. You may want to explore entrepreneurship – it might be for you.  You could join the legions of others who have found prosperity by being on the crest of the wave.  And remember, many of the most successful businesses started out as home businesses – start from where you are at.
