The Art of Entrepreneurship

Hi There and welcome to the maiden article of the entrepreneur blog. This will be the authoritative blog for up and coming entrepreneurs. It will feature new ideas and information for those who will want to start their own business from scratch. It is very exciting to start this blog which will give a voice to those who first of all want to know whether they have what it takes to be an entrepreneur, have good idea which will be transformed into the next big thing. Think of anything entrepreneurial and this is the place to be.

My name is Emmanuel and I live in the London in the United Kingdom. I created this blog because I have over the last year become interested in the whole process of entrepreneurship. Just like a lot of you, I have ask myself whether I have what it takes to become an entrepreneur. I am also an aspiring entrepreneur with a special interest in copywriting. Researching and listening to many entrepreneurs through seminars and the like, I have to come to conclude that entrepreneurship is almost like an art which needs to be mastered. I am convinced that many of us can become the next Sir Allan Sugar or Richard Branson. But it means we needs to change our current position; I mean the way we think and act. I am not saying doing these things will automatically move us into that place with all the pecks. It may well be the first step on the 'long' road to the 'town of entrepreneurs'. As it is often said, the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. At the-entrepreneur blog, we will provide the platform for like-minded people; I mean people with budding entrepreneurial minds to discuss the various ways and attitudes we need to develop, the resources and help available become entrepreneurs.

Being an entrepreneur is a very noble 'profession' I think. Indeed, in the United Kingdom, America and all across the world, entrepreneurs enjoyed the kind of life they have always dreamt of. In addition, national governments the world over acknowledge the importance of entrepreneurship in the development and health of their economy. Some countries even labell entrepreneurs as the "engine of growth" in their economy. And we do acknowledge them not only for their millions they have generated out of their entrepreneurial activities, but more importantly, the almost celebrity status they enjoy. To give you an idea, Sir Richard Branson, who is the founder and chairman of the Virgin group is recognised not just in his homeland UK but across the world for his genius, earning him a knghthood by the Queen in recognition of his contribution to the British Economy. Sir Allan Sugar is another of these entrepreneurs. So successful is he that he successfully hosted the TV reality programme The Apprentice in which he looks for the next entrepreneurs of the United Kngdom. From all indication, they are the people who hold a country together. They are indeed, the engine of growth in an economy.

But how did they begin? How many years did it take them to get to where they today? Is money the ultimate motivation for their entrepreneurial spirit? And can anybody at all become an entrepreneur? Or just like many of us, we were born to do the 'rat race' - the usual 9-5 stucked behind the desk for the rest of our adult life. Could some of us actually have what it takes to outperform the Richard Bransons of this world but have simply not realised it? Your guess is good as mine. This is the reason why this blog has been created.

One thing is certain, in the coming weeks and months, we will be tackling these issues and all things entrepreneurial. In particular, I will be going through the whole concept of entrepreneurship and the role it plays in our lives. I will among other things be tracing the origins of entrepreneurship and the entrepreneur and all other subjects related to entrepreneurship. I am really excited about what is coming up in the coming days.

Be sure to stay tuned in to this blog. If you are ready, let get this started in a grand style. Welcome aboard !!!
