Recently I was talking with Dr. Kevin Bond a minister from Brooklyn. He was sharing with me that the brothers in his church have a difficult time finding jobs.
He encourages them to return to school because there is funding available.
He added that some of the men want to be entrepreneurs. Without a breath he continued to say-- that they don't know what entrepreneurship is really all about! This is not any reflection on these men or others in this country who are told about entrepreneurship as it is like playing a pick-up game of basketball.
This is reason I included this picture with this post, it seems like fun, it looks
very promising, but there are so many pitfalls. Number one there is no formal
education, no mentorship that prepares us for entrepreneurship. We all are left to connect the dots if we have any hope of being successful.
It seems like fun, I want to be an entrepreneur! I want to have my own hours
and be my own boss! Do you know this entails working 12-14 hour work days,
maybe without pay. It can also take 2-5 years before you can even begin to make money.
So it seems like fun, do you have savings, a good credit rating, a business that
already has a tribe (Seth Godin) or audience that uses your product and service?
Does it still seem like fun? At the beginning you will also need to wear several hats. This will reflect your skill sets and personality. Are you a self-starter? Are you good with social media and a computer? Do you have a computer? How good are your writing skills. Whatever you can't do, you will need to hire someone. So does it still seem like fun.
