7 power stances we can all learn from entrepreneurs, says Hammad Siddiqui

1. Words and attitudes define us.

“Challenges, challenges, challenges. Difficulties, difficulties, difficulties … Avoid repeating such words; otherwise they will become the part of your life,” says Hammad Siddiqui, Deputy Country Director of the Center of International Private Enterprise (CIPE)

Successful entrepreneurs utilize positive words to propel them further and higher. They uplift themselves to the higher realms – the realm of spirit.

Entrepreneurs are the most spiritually connected people

When you think about it ideas are a mind thing and entrepreneurs use their thinking in a creative way – which is the spiritual realm. The spiritual journey into the entrepreneurship realm begins with smart ideas. Smart ideas add value, and some of that value will rub off on you.

Magical Alchemy

Entrepreneurs are the most spiritually connected people who can turn some of the craziest ideas into profits.

Mantle of Entrepreneurship

When asked, “What is the difference between a businessman and an entrepreneur?” many people might scratch their head and wonder – “Is there a difference?”

While all entrepreneurs may be businessmen, not all businessmen are entrepreneurs. Also there are shades of meaning developing. For example, a businessman may think for today, whereas an entrepreneur has greater long-term vision. For a businessman incremental growth is good but an entrepreneur focuses upon exponential growth.

5. Pure Passion

As an entrepreneur your biggest challenge is to light up the passion/fire to a level that drives your entrepreneurial spirituality into exponential success.

6. Extreme Environment

The business environment is challenging. There is competition out there, and only the best with the extreme passion will succeed!

7. Four Key Skills

Every entrepreneur requires four key skills to make things work:

(A) Ability to create or innovate

(B) Ability to implement ideas

(C) Ability to market ideas or services

(D) Ability to understand numbers

Even a single missing factor can lead towards the ditch!

Brilliant Idea
Your brilliant Idea is the key driving force behind your success as an entrepreneur, but remember that your brilliant idea is brilliant only if it is implementable.

Capturing Ideas
We get many ideas, one after another; these ideas get buried under the dust of new ideas. There is a need to keep track of what you have been thinking and this can only be done if you keep a record of your thoughts. Create a folder on your desktop entitled “Ideas”.

The Mechanics of Ideas
Your idea should not only be unique, it should be remarkable. There are many things in this world that are unique. We see these unique things, and do not even bother to say anything. These things are not remarkable, hence our brain does not react and our tongue does not throw any words. Only remarkable stuff can be remembered almost forever. You pass a remark only after your brain registers something. So if your idea is remarkable, it will spread easily!

The Reality of Creativity
Entrepreneurs are spiritual and creative. But what is creativity? There are several definitions. “Creativity is not about creating something new, it’s about giving a new Experience,” is the definition by one of the world's leading entrepreneurs, Richard Branson.

The Winners
Undoubtedly, those entrepreneurs who are willing to work smartly and creative enough to give their customers remarkable experience win!
