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.
