Entrepreneurial Motivation "Why do you want to be an Entrepreneur?"

Finding Motivation is one society’s biggest problems, people complaining that they can’t find it when they’re carrying out a piece of work; this is of therefore a big problem. Especially in workplaces where people are counting on you to deliver the best material you can output. Where do you find motivation? People tend to get motivated to carry out tasks and complete given work when they have something they want to achieve by doing the work, some people like to refer to these as goals or incentives; but I think the word is over used and has subsequently lost its meaning over time.
Entrepreneurial Motivation, What Is It and How Do You Really Find It?
Entrepreneurial Motivation can be more difficult to find than your good old fashioned ‘motivation‘on its own, because most of the time it’s a kind of motivation that needs to really be thought about and planned. Why? Entrepreneurial Motivation is usually long term, and that’s why it needs to be broken down into something more short term. This post explores three main motivational factors which influence people’s decisions when quitting their jobs; and how these reasons can be used as entrepreneurial motivation for the long haul.
1. Do You Want To Make A Name For Yourself? Be Yourself And Exude Confidence.
I find that a lot of people who ultimately decide to leave the workplace and go off to begin their entrepreneurial endeavors, are fueled by a passion for some kind of celebrity status or authority figure, in a particular field or niche. Personally, I think that this can be a very good type of motivation to have because there are always opportunities to feel that you’re actually increasing people’s awareness of who you are; and what you’re an expert at. This is especially true when it comes to all the social media sites and applications which are being released daily; you can constantly be marketing yourself.
2. You Want To
Start A Business Of Your Own? This Is Your Driving Force!
People quit their job because they want to be their own boss and start their own company…This is their motivation and it can be quite powerful. Owning a business can be a double edged sword; we’ve seen so many example of people try and fail and in business it happens a lot. Successful business can be summed up in a couple of words, including that of planning, implementing, analyzing and optimizing; in addition to this: your service or product should be top notch and high quality. A business will only be great if you have a distinct passion for what you’re doing. Passion breeds creativity and creativity breeds ideas; most of the time - ideas breed better business.
3. Maybe You Want To Escape From The Cubicle? This Can Be Great Motivation.
Tired of your boss screaming at you? Frustrated with the cubicle in which you spend most of your day. Is the rat race getting to you? Ever feel like you could be doing something so much more rewarding and probably end up living a much longer life? All of these questions above are examples of great, long term motivational goals which you can use to motivate yourself to continue developing a business model and implementing it. If you have a sound business strategy with a solid foundation, your business is likely to succeed, every time you feel discouraged; just remember you could be chasing trains and catching buses.
Do You Have The Professional Attitude, A Winning Personality and A Room Filling Presence?
One thing you need to understand is that there will always be highs and lows…it’s only natural. Stress, pressure, money and time constraints may eventually affect you. The most important message to remember is not to give in to these short term demoralizers; you can and you will get over them. Think long term, think about the bigger picture, motivate yourself by recalling what you were and envisioning what you will eventually become.
This is where the professional attitude comes in. In everything you do, you should aim for maximized efficiency and productivity; if you have a construction crew carrying out work, ensure they know the deadline and that work being executed daily meets quality and standards as well as maintaining and sticking to a rigorous work schedule.
Your personality needs to be great, remember that you have the power to influence people by using the mood in which you are in. Strive to be bubbly, friendly and full of energy; this can only happen if you have a
balanced lifestyle, an excellent state of overall general health and a great well-being. Your presence needs to be so big that it fills a room and motivates others around you to get the job done because your excitement and presence will rub off on the workers.
