All without exception and regardless of how much or little we have achieved in developing our first business online, we were entrepreneurs.

In fact, we always will be, however when you first start a project we can not always say we have a business, you know why?, For a business to call him as such should be able to operate without our constant supervision, otherwise we have no business but we are “Self-employed”.

Unless from the start hire other people to do our job.

There is a very simple formula to determine this that the famous Robert Kiyosaki explained ( see the video here ) about what he calls “The Cashflow Quadrant” therefore I will not dwell on the subject. The point I want to get is to show yourself on the importance of learning and implementing processes that allow you to actually have one or more businesses at once, this is one of the great “perks” of being an entrepreneur.

One of the mistakes I made long ago when “tried” to begin my first ventures (in fact, were just attempts and nothing else), was to believe that the business was I, that is, the only way – he believed in that then – give me the ability to generate some income, so maybe one day live simply and solely through Internet, was whether he was at the helm for 24 hours a day working on my project.

Not only did not get anything at the time, or at least very little, but I wasted so much time (and this is one of the few things I regret having done, having lost time) to work completely wrong and out of focus . Believe me this is one of the things you’ll want to have avoided the day you learn how to create business “virtual”.

You may wonder why I say all this good news is that today while talking with a client and heard what he said, at various points of the match I was “reflected” in his words and decisions (wrong) I did at the time and wanted share it with you in this note. To differentiate clearly the point where you start a venture (if it’s your first time) and then turn that project into a real business that generates income regardless of whether or not you are in front of it (hey, do not say “leave everything” but ” not be a slave “) is largely one of the things that make you a man or woman of success, meditate on this.

Making Money Business and the Internet have certainly learned a few things that can help you if you just want to make money with the Internet or any other business model. And although I read it many times I never realized it until I had to live.

1. the goal is not so much what is enjoyable, but the road that leads there.

The real value is in the process of your business, if we hope to get to the end to enjoy what we did, we will have lost much of our lives.
Everything we do with our business should be done with passion, without estresarnos. This happiness is much more durable when fulfill our goals.

2. As you grow your business is critical to take it as a real company
When we started doing business and money and hjemos and won a few dollars, everything becomes very simple and can do whatever we want.
But when we exceed a thousand dollars more we will see that we must be very organized with our time if we want our business continues to thrive. We can no longer do what pleases us because they have daily tasks with which to meet if or if.

3. The challenge is to achieve the first $ 100
When it has won the first $ 100 online, income and business opportunities start coming on their own in good quantities.

4. The less dependent on others is much better …
Traffic to our Internet business is like blood in our body if we die there, and as can happen with our business. I have learned that free traffic through videos, comment on forums, blogs, articles and other methods are much safer in the long run to pay companies for this traffic.

It is better to learn to manage our own traffic strategies to keep our business life to others.

5. The discipline and perseverance is the most important …
You do not need a genius to be successful in business online, you just need to stick to a model and have discipline and persevere to get the results you desire. Many times we give up when just missing only a meter to be successful.

Organize a weekly schedule and stick to it without fail, so you will see results much faster. I recommend you read the article http://www.Cómo Get organized to Work at Home Internet and Earn
Oh … and do not forget to make money online business is time consuming but must leave a space of it to get our human side. That is to share with those we love most, of no use having great success on the Internet and live alone most of our time and not have someone to enjoy our successes.

The ability to identify opportunities for better living conditions and make efforts to materialize into concrete action has been characteristic of human beings from their appearance on earth.

The challenges of modern life, where competition for survival and growth are constant, highlight the relevance of the spirit that gives individuals and organizations the strength to fight, overcome and improve. When viewed from the perspective of business, the momentum is clearly identified as entrepreneurship.

Several authors recognize the importance of this factor on the possibility of improving the living conditions of individual and collective, as part of a coherent economic development
highlighting its potential impact on small and medium enterprises.

As defined in the European Green Paper, entrepreneurship takes the attitude that it is an individual, by acting both as individuals and as a member of an organization, which shows their ability and motivation to identify an opportunity and achieve through their own efforts to generate greater value or economic success.

The concept emphasizes the importance of creativity, innovation and sound management, taking the respective risks in the generation of skills to achieve positive changes in existing markets, creating new markets and generally promote higher value added to existing processes.

Entrepreneurship can occur in any business of all sectors, in companies of any size and individuals with varying degrees of preparation and maturity. Its main benefits are associated with: Read the rest of this entry »

Much has been written about business, but really, little has been characterized by describing the actual stages by which pass, to become great entrepreneurs like Carlos Slim, Bill Gates and Donald Trump, just to mention a few.

Every company has its origins based on three characteristics: the idea, and finally capital management.

This can be done from a single person having three points or more partners.

Call it an entrepreneur who has the idea and concept of a product or service to be performed, an investor who provides capital for startup and initial business support and, last but not least, the person who is going to take accountability and to manage the new business to undertake.

Most articles and books always focus on the typical features that should have people to become good entrepreneurs, as entrepreneurs, motivation, breadth of vision, creativity, openness, discipline, perseverance, honesty , love of work, leadership, teamwork, humanistic culture, incorporating elements qualities and integration of internal and external to the enterprise, respect for ecology, prudence, fortitude, patience, perseverance, cooperation, passion for excellence of product or service offered and finally provision of service-meaning social-responsibility.

Daniel Goleman, Doctor of Psychology UniversityHarvard, is the creator of a new concept applied to the employer, as well as the new leaders (political and managerial), and every kind of worker, called “Emotional Intelligence.”

This new concept of intelligence, which promotes personal and professional excellence, ensures that you reach higher levels of leadership and efficiency in enterprises, through self-knowledge, self security and self-control, commitment, integrity and ability to communicate with others.

In recent years there has heard that the Colombian family businesses are close to face major generational changes. Statistics show that only 30% of family businesses survive the change from first to second generation and 13% change from second to third generation. These data raise concerns me about how to get companies Colombian family endure over the years and the face of generational change?

I found that one factor of great importance and that some have talked about is the “entrepreneurial spirit.” The project, as suggested by some scholars, is a tool that allows companies to develop new strategies and capabilities to compete in mixed environments and changing environments. In a family business, the venture could lead the way to be an ancient family business.

Therefore, it is worth asking what is actually undertaken, and how can families Colombian entrepreneurs cultivate an entrepreneurial spirit and carry out entrepreneurial practices. Read the rest of this entry »

Perhaps you have a company or a good idea to start a new business, perhaps you know a product or service that everyone needs and you can improve or sell at a cheaper price, you might think that your city or community need some kind of business as a shoe store, stationery, hospital, butchers, law firm, doctor etc., or however you want make a product or service, but first let me say that most new businesses or businesses close their doors due to lack of profitability, and all for problems that originate from business planning as location, type of product, quality, price, management, promotions and poorly planned.

The planning, organization, operation and control of your company is one of the biggest challenges for any small business owner who intends to start a new business.

Being an entrepreneur requires discipline, accountability, consistency, and perseverance, a businessman working more than one person and almost always used initially earn lower income, even after the income can be increased depending on the success of your business, in a nutshell Being an entrepreneur is a challenge.

Entrepreneur is called to the person who starts a mission. Entrepreneur, is a person who starts a company with a defined objective. Among other features, an entrepreneur or entrepreneur, you must be consistent, determined, visionary, daring, charismatic, planner, organizer, leader and have a working capacity above the average. Many features to appear together in a single individual, however, entrepreneurs, as most dealers are-they have them.

If you want to improve their position as an entrepreneur, will identify a vision and goal. The vision will be the ultimate goal for which you started your business, which, of course, is not making money. Making money is a requirement of any enterprise for profit. Your vision must be something subtle, to guide you through the difficult time the world of distribution of computer equipment and related services. If you do not set a vision, hardly be staying in the market. Once you have established a vision, it shall set a goal for a year, six months, or three. The time depends on the type of segment that is highly dynamic and that is it.

One of the characteristics that differentiate an entrepreneur from a typical manager is that the entrepreneur takes risks, or at least risking your money. The entrepreneur invests large amounts of time, “and usually, all your money, and sometimes even more. This should have a pretty clear vision of what is going to do, because otherwise it will be difficult to recoup the investment. In this wave of Internet business is changing and becoming, you never know what will happen tomorrow. The risk increases. Read the rest of this entry »

The trend toward equalization of working conditions between men and women should not be limited to paid work. One of the objectives of the Lisbon Agenda is to reach next year the female employment rate of 60%, but the European Commission is aware that an employee is not the only means of employment integration, and is therefore promoting women’s participation in entrepreneurship. The last step in this area has been the launch of the “network of Ambassadors of Female Entrepreneurship, whose mission is to share with other women first-hand experience in enterprise projects.

The launch, held in Stockholm, attended by 150 ambassadors chosen from throughout Europe. The network image arises from that in Sweden, the country holds the EU presidency until January 1, given over from Spain. Nordic government has designated some 800 ambassadors to encourage other women to make the leap. As in many other matters, the European Statistics Sweden commands respect: women led 32% of new projects last year, and the goal is to reach 40% in 2010. We speak, of course in a country where a quarter of companies are run by women, a level unthinkable to the South.

According to the Commission, the launch of the network represents an opportunity for mutual inspiration between the various ambassadors. At the opening session, several of the entrepreneurs presented their business the rest are already a reality: from a home-based distributor of raw foods to a unit that acts as personal secretary for various clients.
Carin Holmquist, professor at the Stockholm School of Economics, notes that in the entire European Union, 5% of women are entrepreneurs, a percentage that has increased by half a point since 1990. Their motivations, Holmquist says, are finding freedom and fulfillment, and the possibility of reconciling work and family life.

The traditional role that society assigns to women, focusing on family care, is a barrier to their access to the labor market. To balance family responsibilities with employment requires flexible hours, and the creation of companies is, according to the Swedish Presidency, an opportunity in this regard.

Sectoral diversity by sex
One thing to note is that entrepreneurs tend to seek opportunities in sectors that have previously worked, and these are employed in varying degrees by men and women. Thus, these dominate the trade and non-market services such as education or health, while male employment focuses on the industry or financial services. Jöran Hägglund, Minister of State for Energy and the Swedish company, explains that this distribution makes the women’s entrepreneurial action, because his job focuses on “activities not open to entrepreneurship.”

The challenge, then, are many (including difficult access to finance), but they begin to lay foundation. The presentation of the Network of Ambassadors was closed with a gala dinner at the impressive City Hall of Stockholm, place of delivery of the Nobel Prizes. A symbol, perhaps, the pursuit of excellence pursued by the Lisbon Agenda.

It is essential to address when we speak of organizational development, entrepreneurship. Indeed, we tend to confuse or find texts that speak equally of “Entrepreneurship” and “entrepreneurship.”
As shown in the article, could be considered the first as a broader term, perhaps oriented business vision, and the second a number of specific qualities of those who understand that ideas can become viable business models, making it his personal project and labor.

Entrepreneurship is inherently a set of skills, as might be the ability deliderazgo, risk aversion, motivation superlative, the analysis capacity problems in search of opportunity, tolerance of failure, etc.., Which probably resides today These days the importance of promoting the adquisiciónde these skills, by those who tomorrow will face decisions endisposición of the fact cuentapropia or do work for others, indeed, those who perhaps should entenderque development of these skills or can llevarsea implementation proceeded smoothly, provided that the culture of the organization in our professional lives quedesarrollemos assume it, “chipped in structures do not have to own and to that aspect (the intrapreneurial) I dedicate a few lines at the end of the article.
I want to do some reflection theFallas importance in promoting entrepreneurship can be luchacontra stigma of failure, while in countries like the United States made several times dehaber started from scratch an entrepreneurial venture is a aspectomuy valued by those who may be willing to invest in the project, since it is understood that the previous administration is a wealth of experience quedifícilmente may transmit the most prestigious business schools oinstituciones-training in Spain, for example, is still pending unaasignatura mainly financial institutions and elsistema governing the grant or funding support for these people.
Projects designed to work unmundo of second chances “to which some international institutions like the Development BancoIberoamericano are already facing higher value-aquellosque would bet their heritage by carrying out a project, sometimes inclusoalgunas against the closest.
According to statistics from various reports and studies, it is rare that the youth of our schools and our centers’ training for employment (vocational schools, universities, etc..) Think in a majority of this possibility delemprendimiento as the ideal career opportunity personal fulfillment at work. The stability, security, salary, type of contract … are often the concerns they face when the time is coming decomenzar his career work.

The inclusion in currículosde Secondary Education / High School and Vocational Training (in the first case models using free elective subjects for students vary, depending on the Autonomous Regions, and the second one through the study of cross laasignatura Initiative Entrepreneur “) are two good GETTINGSTARTED towards the development and exhibition of new possibilities for instructional levels at the end of his academic life, although there is still much greater slope unacercamiento business world to these groups, conidea to show success stories like a reality and the cases of tropiezocomo a path to success on successive occasions.

I wanted to consciously avoid the word failure because I think it should apply only to those who lose lailusión, and not those who have run the wrong way your aventuraempresarial, recursively, in addition, they lack training in subjects specific ohabilidades, and of course, still do not know an entrepreneur / a quecarezca any illusion for use in body and soul into his project to develop entrepreneurship.

Now, speaking of intrapreneurs, should be equally important in managing teams focused on common objectives ypersonas (departments or business areas and entities deempresas) promoting the acquisition and development of habilidadesemprendedoras in team members. A team capable of facing nuevosretos, manage and be able to find innovative solutions to analyze problems from a positive perspective and guidance to the búsquedade new opportunities to work with laconfección multidisciplinary vision of the equipment itself, to develop their project sintoníacon staff in the common goal of the organization … will be a team with a very high level decompetitividad.

Work thus far know about our chances, heading for entrepreneurial development, understanding and political talconcepto medium term and looking for tangible results in time.

Profit, competition, leadership, entrepreneurship, productivity, innovation, risk … All these terms are part of a system called “organization” or “business” system which performs a process that enables the creation and opening of the market. And among these concepts, entrepreneurship is regarded as important, because it depends on the articulation of the process, the direction of the system and the actions that lead to productivity and profit.

Corporate action and results, which become entrepreneurship, depend on the agent called social entrepreneurs. And is it economically important in an organization, not production, but the entrepreneur’s ability to generate business opportunities and foster innovation. It is the job of the employer to determine where there is a business opportunity and analyze the factors that define these opportunities as good and viable. To understand this phenomenon is to assess the expectations, levels of uncertainty and risk, have intuition, to anticipate future possibilities and surprise factors, make decisions in relation to them and present reality, be clear about the investment, advantages, disadvantages and projected earnings. Thus, the agent of the evolution of a company is the employer because of his vision, ideas, skills and actions depend on the establishment, development and progress of the organization.

Thus, the entrepreneur is part of the formation, consolidation and development of the company in the market, according to current needs, which implies risk to change, bet on innovation and know when to do so and know what aspects to enhance the organization. It is here where the businessman with his strong instinct for perfection away from the Read the rest of this entry »
