THE ENTREPRENEUR POEM

I am the ENTREPRENEUR.

YES to being my own BOSS.

Never LOSING SIGHT that I MAY fail many times before success smiles once.

And never shying from working 5X more than the employees before I can get it done.

But I am not to be confused with the janitor,

or the Marketing Manager, although I wear those hats too.

Investments of sweat equity and time have laid the bricks to my Empire.

Though We are sometimes in debts that cripple our credit score.

Or that We sometimes become ‘jokes of the society’ who can’t feel our dreams.

What is seen today was once nothing,

but sprouted under careful attention, focused vision and thorough planning.

Living, breathing, and eating the business with passion and zeal.

Fueled by 18 hours work days, Indomine noodles and fried eggs, Fried Yam and

Beans cake sandwiches.

And attacking the competition to gain market share with cold calculation and fervor.

Some might call me CEO,

or Founder or Business Owner, but this is for certain:

I demand excellence, I expect success, I blaze trails, I lead, I build, I aim for the Sky, I execute, I take risks,

I am bold. I am innovative. I am ambitious. I am the captain.

I am the ENTREPRENEUR. I am CEO.

10 Reasons why you should embrace a sales career

In 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad', Robert Kiyosaki listed selling skills as the most important skill in business. To corroborate that, several great men and women such as Steve Jobs, Dale Carnegie, Joe Girard, Mary Kay, Barak Obama and even Donald Trump all had their beginnings from a selling career. This, it was much easier for them to be such exceptional administrators and business men. Sometimes in the year 2000, I met a journalist friend who laughed it off when I told him I had joined an insurance company to sell life assurance professionally. He felt insurance is dubious and sales job is demeaning. Needless to say, he almost succeeded in derailing my nascent sales career. But I didn't listen. Looking back, I am extremely grateful that he did not succeeded in derailing my career! Since then, my sales job has given me financial reedom, independence and the ability to create wealth whenever, even from thin air if I so choose. Yes, if you are an accomplished professional salesman...
