Entrepreneurship and Leadership

By
What takes entrepreneurs to be a leader? Energy, charisma, passion, willingness or knowledge? Do they have to be a leader?

In the “Message to Garcia” article says “The ability to execute is more valuable than education or talent, because it is far rarer”.

The main message is the person who decides to accomplish an important task is dedicates himself fully. There are no questions or doubt.

If you are the main part of the business, you have started think about it, are you the right person to accomplish this task. It is impossible to delegate the important task to someone capable of doing it whatever the persons background education or knowledge.

Being entrepreneur takes courage and leadership character, which can be developed. Otherwise, he or she alone can’t accomplish much. Woody Allen said that 90% of life is “just showing up.” If so, the most important 10% of life is execution. Far too few people do either consistently. But if the ability to execute is so valuable, why is it so rare? Why aren’t more people self-starters who can stay on task until the job is finished?

Some always blame the younger generation. But it turned out it is nature of human. The most people react rather proact.

Trust others is the fundamental of gaining a trust from others. Zappos introduced online store of shoes. The doubt was how ladies will buy shoes without trying it on? But Zappos shipped the shoes for free and said will pay for return shipping if they did not like the shoes. They built trust.

Entrepreneurs must think the way that to solve the problem in the world not to make the money. Also, thinking how to help the other person rather how to get a help from him.

Entrepreneurs can be nicest person and gather the nice people around would build a great team or company. The goal is to have an excellent team that stays together stands for each other and create something great for society.

Carly Fiorina said “I think leadership is about three things: capability, collaboration, and character.” She described capability is for example being able to ask and listen carefully. Capability: you have to celebrate new ideas, take risks all the time, try new things. Because however good the answers you have had are, every person, every organization, eventually reaches a time when the old answers aren’t good enough anymore. And then the only thing that works is creativity, and new ideas, and risk taking, and innovation. The other important part about capability I think, is to keep learning; to learn something every day. If you - I’m older than most of you, so I can say this with some certainty.

Entrepreneurs are leaders and they have to have a strong determination to follow his passion and able to lead people with kindness, and capability to ever learning state.

Modern Mongolia

By
Some may think Mongolia is endless steppe and Gobi Desert and men on horse galloping. That is true only in some parts of Mongolia. One third of the population is nomadic and almost half of the population is living in the capital city Ulaanbaatar. The city is a mix of ancient Buddhist temple, soviete period block buildings and modern architecture. This is central hub of all the country for trade and supply. The railway comes from Russia to all the way to China. Highways connected all the 21 provinces nowodays. Ulaanbaatar has the only international airport and becomes the central spot for tourists around the world. The heavy traffic and sky scrapers in down town surrounded by ger district and mountains is the main image of the city. Shangri-La, Best Western Permium and other chain hotels provide comfortable hotel stay while some ger camps offer unique stay outside of town. If the visitor reluctant to eat local food can choose western meal restaurants Bluefin, California, Nazk...

Gratitude and Entrepreneurship

By
In the bible Jesus healed 10 men with lepers. The unhealable ill of that time till death. But he cured them all. They all went happily but only one returned to Jesus and fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thank. Jesus said where are other nine and he was disappointed. Why is gratitude important? Let’s think about it. Well could we reflect upon our lives as individuals. We will soon discover much to prompt our personal gratitude. Can we think about how grateful we are for our mother, father, teachers, and friends? All it starts from what they have done to your life. Thing of every detail and big and small things. Observe your feeling to come. How does it relate to entrepreneurship? The pursuit of opportunities is the essence of entrepreneurship. We define an opportunity as a future state that is both desirable and achievable. We also make a distinction among ideas, possibilities, and opportunities. The process of identifying and exploiting entrepreneurial opportun...

Which Habit Is The Most Important?

By
Everything starts from the first step. The Seven Habits starts with the principle called Be Proactive. I call it principle and think this is the first and important habit among those 7 habits. Because this is the fundamental of all other habits. With this first step I will be able to learn and develop other habits. When I was reading the book, I noticed many people are re-active and move by others influence. For example, children clean the home by parents’ request, students do class work by teachers request and employees move by managers request. There are few people are born proactive and lead people. But good news is being proactive is a skill can be learned and developed. Steven Covey taught in his book being proactive means to actively choose what our response will be in any situation rather than to react blindly. When I was reading the book first time being proactive means living by his or her plan rather other people's plan merely. But when I was reading the summery o...
