What Should Be Your Main Objective In Becoming A Business Entrepreneur?
Becoming a business entrepreneur is not for everyone. It is often said by some that anyone who risks going into a business is either foolhardy or ignorant. Yet almost everyone admires a risk taker especially if he is successful. The truth is that becoming an entrepreneur is indeed a high risk endeavor. Thus the reason for desiring to own your business must be to do with high rewards when you succeed.
The issue here is how to define what is ‘high rewards’ The great number of start-up failures, statistically evident, has a lot to do with the confusion by entrepreneurs about their real purpose in starting a business. Reasons for wanting to become entrepreneur can vary from desiring to be independent to ‘making lots of money’. However, many an objective which acts as a motivation for risking a new business is often the inherent problem which leads to business failure.
By now, you would be wondering what then should be the main objective that would help a start-up to succeed. And what are the reasons for wanting to become an entrepreneur that would be unhelpful to success?
The answer, surprising enough, is about what makes a successful business and the creation of a business into a positive cash flow generator. Generally, a business is said to succeed if it is making profit and yet many profit-making businesses become insolvent and fail. How is this so? The truth is that a profit-making business if it cannot pay through its overhead or bills is insolvent and cannot continue.
A successful company is therefore one that must both create a profit and generate a positive cash flow. It can then be described as an asset to the owner(s). The purpose of starting any business is thus to create an asset, meaning an entity that would provide you with a positive cash flow. It is what makes rich people rich; creating assets that bring in the money for them. Thus it is said “the rich don’t work for money but have money work for them”! They create assets. Thus the main objective in starting a business is to create an asset that provides you with a permanent positive cash flow.
It is not hard to realize that a negative cash flow business is your liability and not an asset. It either fails or you have to get rid of it. For many business owners this is the case; there are millions of businesses around the world which are liabilities.
Today the internet allows you to start a business with little cash injection and thus allows you to control your cash flow situation better.
