There are many people that call themselves entrepreneurs these days, but very few actually are.
I think a real entrepreneur is someone that has the drive and motivation within themselves to realize their vision.
Some people who call themselves 'entrepreneurs' think that business is all about making money, but really, it's not the amount of money you have that is important, it's what you do with the money you have.
I also think real entrepreneurs do not just go and risk everything. They take calculated risks after identifying real opportunities.
In today's world of analysis we always look for reasons why people are successful, whether it's as an entrepreneur, corporate leader, sports person etc.
The fact of the matter is that regardless of the career path people take, their own success and future is defined by having the skills to see and exploit the opportunities in front of them, whilst the rest of the world see it as risky or crazy.
Regardless of whether you are in the UK, India or Tanzania, it is your inner drive, belief, passion, hard work and sheer determination to succeed that makes a good entrepreneur.
That said, corporate skills such as business acumen, commercial awareness and the ability to articulate a vision and strategy are also required. The difference however is that in the business world you are paid to develop these skills, as an entrepreneur you employ or develop these skills to pay yourself.
It's not about being lucky either, because a golfer once said "The more I play, the luckier I get". It's the same in business, which is an art that can be perfected.
Personally, I am not driven by money itself, but instead by the positive change I bring to people's lives. In the end, money is just a tool to help in trade. The trade itself is more important.
I'm inspired by many people in my life, but mainly its people who have actually proved that they can make a success of themselves, like Richard Branson and James Dyson. I love to see people who are out there fulfilling what they do best.
I can't wait for the time when I myself will identify a real opportunity and have the chance to turn it into the biggest success I possibly can. I'm full of ideas, but I'm just waiting to find that truly viable one which shall change the world!
