Chapter 5
Entrepreneurship is born out of a true desire to serve the world around you to help make it better than you met it.
In true entrepreneurship, you can never get enough of your desire to serve.
The phrase ‘I Just Got Started’ should more or less be your motto in your entrepreneurial journey at every point in time.
This mentality is what subconsciously releases strings of ‘entrepreneurial adrenalines’ that helps keep you on your toes. It helps eliminate every form of ‘I Have Arrived’ mentality that has hindered one-time successful entrepreneurs from unleashing new creativities that would have helped them stay ahead.
No matter what stage you are on the entrepreneurial ladder, you just cannot quit because you just got started. The feeling and mentality of ‘I Just Got Started’, helps you see that the world we live in is new every day. Believe it or not, the world we lived in yesterday is not the same world as we are living in today.
This is proven by the new desires, longings and quest that the world exhibits on a day-to-day basis.
Understanding this fact helps put you in a position of awareness of the daily dynamics of the world and to develop the mental consciousness to respond to the new needs the world exhibits daily.
This awareness helps you set into motion and unleash new creativities to always stay ahead and be relevant.
As a true entrepreneur, you never feel like you have arrived in the world of entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurs that monitor consumer trends on a daily basis understand this truth that we live in new worlds every day. The fluctuating consumer trends prove this fact to write the least.
Bill Gates is a perfect example of an entrepreneur who understands this truth and who has embraced the ‘I Just Got Started’ attitude without which I bet you, he will be irrelevant today not with his early inventions that dates over five decades.
It is important to mention in order to prepare your mind that the realization of your entrepreneurial dreams of today will not keep you relevant in the next five, ten, fifteen or twenty years.
What will ensure your relevance in the future is embracing the ‘I Just Got Started’ mentality, which will help you have a better view of the dynamic needs of the world, in order to continuously unleash new creativities to help you remain relevant.
