Before you create a business plan, I think you should know why you need to be an optimist to be an entrepreneur. Being an entrepreneur is very rewarding but it is also very difficult. It isn’t for the faint of heart. Yes, you have the opportunity to create a stable financial climate for yourself, but that takes time, patience, endurance, and most importantly, belief in yourself. You have to remain optimistic. This is the life of an entrepreneur.
Like any executive level position, when you are the boss, you carry the weight of that company or department on your shoulders. You are solely responsible for the growth of your business. As you start out as an entrepreneur, you will receive more no’s than you care to hear. You will run into unforeseen obstacles and hit road blocks that you never knew existed. That is why you need to be an optimist to be an entrepreneur. The reality of owning your business is that it is tough. There are many sleepless nights. Once you have established yourself and your business, you have to work just as hard to stay successful!
You cannot be an entrepreneur if you are a person that sees the glass half empty. No matter what obstacle comes your way or what person tries to hinder you, you have to have the ability to see hope and believe in your vision. This is what will drive you. This is the motivation you will need to run through your veins in order to make it. When one person says no, you have to be determined to find a yes. When one door closes, you have to find an open door or be willing to kick one in. You have to be an optimist to be an entrepreneur. Defeat should never be an option! Always keep the faith knowing that you have what it takes to be a success.
