I believe that in being a UWCSEA Entrepreneur, I will learn to take risks, be innovative, and solve problems to make the world a better place. I hope to develop the knowledge, understanding and practical skills associated with setting up and running a new business.
There are many skills an entrepreneur needs to run a successful business. After some research on previous successful entrepreneurs, I have come to the conclusion that the three most important skills I need to become a successful entrepreneur are passion, dedication and self management. Why are these three superior to the rest, you might wonder? Passion is really important, both to keep a business running through difficult times and to wake up everyday and love what you do. Dedication is important so that you are both working hard and are focused enough, in order to achieve your targets. Self management is important so that you are organised and can manage your time effectively.
I think I would like to focus on developing a mix of all three skills over the next two years. I hope to achieve this by scheduling time specifically for Enterprise, working hard, focusing and finally asking for support when I need it.
