The choice is yours
Being an entrepreneur is our natural state of life. Entrepreneurship is hardwired into our genes.
Still, being an entrepreneur is a choice to be made first.
In this article we describe how to make this choice wisely.
Who can be an entrepreneur.
Everyone can be an entrepreneur. But…
People are different and some people just like to have limited liabilities, stable income, skip some stress and get home earlier. So they choose to be employees. Totally fine.
Entrepreneurship is our natural right, not an obligation.
Other people like to challenge themselves. They are able to create work and have this work done. They can do more and achieve more.

In the very end, the only actual difference between an employee and an entrepreneur is the ability for self-organization.
Self-organisation – the ability to postulate an idea, organise it into a task and get this task done.
If we have the ability for self-organization, then we have the inner engine to act as entrepreneurs.
If ability is weak, then … well, welcome to the labour market.
Still, our organising skills can be developed and grown.
Everything starts with focusing on our lives – our ideas, our work, our people.
How to start a business.
To start our own business we should utilise a simple cycle:
Think – Plan – Create …
1. We think about our value and about people who might use this value.
Any business is always an exchange of values: the value of product for the value of money.
Before starting to plan any further activities, we should set ourselves clear about the exact value we produce and the particular people who are ready to pay for this value.
It is not that obvious as it might sound – there are lots of tiny details to think about, which could decide the outcome of the entire venture.
Thinking is the start for everything
2. We plan the work we thought through.
We plan tasks, events and projects – we describe and organize the work we want to be done.
Planning helps us to improve structure and therefore raise the efficiency of our work.
And though some people consider planning as unnecessary burden, there is no way to build a sustainable organisation without proper planning routine.
Weekly Plans are the crucial part of an effective planning routine.
Planning raises efficiency and saves time
3. We create according to what we planned.
We wake up, check our Weekly Plans in calendars.
We decide what we want to create today. And we have things done.
Creating is bringing our ideas to life
And then we proceed from the very beginning: we think, we plan, we create.
At some point, we receive a clear vision about the work order, the efforts involved, the cashflow our business activity is capable to generate.
By following this simple cycle of “think-plan-create” literally everyone can be an entrepreneur.
But the choice is all ours. No pressure.
