by Jim Rohn
An enterprising person is one who comes across
a pile of scrap metal and sees the making of a wonderful sculpture. An
enterprising person is one who drives through an old decrepit part of town and
sees a new housing development. An enterprising person is one who sees
opportunity in all areas of life.
To be enterprising is to keep your eyes open
and your mind active. It’s to be skilled enough, confident enough, creative
enough and disciplined enough to seize opportunities that present themselves...
regardless of the economy.
A person with an enterprising attitude says,
"Find out what you can before action is taken." Do your homework. Do
the research. Be prepared. Be resourceful. Do all you can in preparation of
what’s to come.
Enterprising people always see the future in
the present. Enterprising people always find a way to take advantage of a
situation, not be burdened by it. And enterprising people aren’t lazy. They
don’t wait for opportunities to come to them; they go after the opportunities.
Enterprise means always finding a way to keep yourself actively working toward
your ambition.
Enterprise is two things. The first is
creativity. You need creativity to see what’s out there and to shape it to your
advantage. You need creativity to look at the world a little differently. You
need creativity to take a different approach, to be different.
What goes hand in hand with the creativity of
enterprise is the second requirement: the courage to be creative. You need
courage to see things differently, courage to go against the crowd, courage to
take a different approach, courage to stand alone if you have to, courage to
choose activity over inactivity.
And lastly, being enterprising doesn’t just
relate to the ability to make money. Being enterprising also means feeling good
enough about yourself, having enough self-worth to want to seek advantages and
opportunities that will make a difference in your future. And by doing so, you
will increase your confidence, your courage, your creativity and your
self-worth—your enterprising nature.
