• "It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor
  those who died in defense of our country
  in wars far away. The imagination plays a
  trick. We see these soldiers in our mind as old
  and wise. We see them as something like the
  Founding Fathers, grave and gray-haired. But
  most of them were boys when they died, they
  gave up two lives -- the one they were living and
  the one they would have lived. When they died,
  they gave up their chance to be husbands and
  fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance
  to be revered old men. They gave up everything
  for their county, for us. All we can do is remember."
  -- President Ronald Wilson Reagan
  Remarks at Veteran's Day ceremony,
  Arlington National Cemetery November 11, 1985

• "I, a humble citizen of this great country USA,
  proudly salute the men and women of our Armed
  Forces all over the world! Thank You for securing
  our freedom, and providing us unmatched safety,
  peace, and making USA the greatest democracy
  in the world!
  
  
• "I moved to USA from India in 1987 to study.
  I became a U.S. citizen in 2008, and voted for the
  first time - this was a terrific experience. I am
  very grateful to USA for providing me great
  education, fantastic work experience, freedom,
  entrepreneurship, and success!! Above all, I am
  very thankful and grateful that I have been able
  to raise a wonderful family and grow here.

• "As U.S. citizen, I am particularly proud of
  the constitutional first amendment:
  "Congress shall make no law respecting an
  establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
  exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
  speech, or of the press; or the right of the people
  peaceably to assemble, and to petition the
  Government for a redress of grievances."
  The fourth amendment:
  "The right of the people to be secure in their
  persons, houses, papers, and effects, against
  unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not
  be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but
  upon probable cause, supported by Oath or
  affirmation, and particularly describing the
  place to be searched, and the persons or
  things to be seized."
  Finally, the fourteenth amendment:
  "All persons born or naturalized in the
  United States, and subject to the jurisdiction
  thereof, are citizens of the United States and
  of the State wherein they reside. No State shall
  make or enforce any law which shall abridge
  the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
  United States; nor shall any State deprive any
  person of life, liberty, or property, without
  due process of law; nor deny to any person
  within its jurisdiction the equal protection of
  the laws"

7 Characteristics of an Entrepreneur

Entrepreneurship

What makes you an entrepreneur? What keeps you going?

Here are my thoughts on what makes me an entrepreneur...

My 7 characteristics that define me as an entrepreneur:

1. Vision - about a new idea, innovation or market that makes a positive difference
2. Passion - limitless drive to pursue my ideas and dreams
3. Belief - in my ability to convert my ideas into something meaningful
4. Optimism - in the face of adversity that doors will open, and a never say die attitude
5. Learning - from past mistakes & failures which are plenty, and my openness to new ideas
6. Creativity - to try out new approaches & business models until something sticks
7. Relationships - with my team members, networks, partners & advisers to execute on my vision

Ultimately, an entrepreneur loves what he does, and does what he loves (that is my mantra)!

Is an entrepreneur also an innovator who must create new business innovations to succeed? Or is the entrepreneur a smart businessman or woman who instinctively knows how to execute and operate a business successfully? What do you think?

Can an entrepreneur transform into a creative leader?

Share your thoughts & beliefs on what makes you as an entrepreneur! I would love to hear your ideas...
