1.1. Introduction
Entrepreneurship synthesizes information from across academic specialties and
demands that practitioners work with wide variety of people from different
callings. All of us are entrepreneurs. We are all born in the innate ability to
survive; and survival involves innovate thinking. Think about your life. Think
about the times you needed to make a decision-a choice-that involve doing
something innovative so that you could “move on” or adopt to a challenging 3
situation. In our normal course of daily living, we are faced with choices. It is
about assessing a situation, designing alternatives, and choosing a new way or
perhaps a combination of ways that we hope will lead us to something better;
how ever we happen to define “better” at that moment. Hopefully, we make
our choices in the context of the maximizing our happiness without harming
and act on that innovation, we are entrepreneurs.

riding on each decision. Entrepreneurs can face dilemma while making a decision,
especially when they have limited information. Entrepreneurs must also guard
themselves against getting overly involved in decision-making and causing a delay

experts and ask them to come up with the alternatives before evaluating options and
finally deciding.
Facing Criticism
you might be warned repeatedly the various ways your business can fail. A lot of
people truly do think that is more stable to depend on a tenuous job at a brick-and-
mortar than to be the head of your own company. Sometimes critics get personal.
They’ll feel jealous of and threatened by your independence and try to magnify
anything negative they can find, projecting their own insecurities onto you.
Finding Customers
Your marketing budget isn’t able to reach as wide an audience as a multi national
conglomerate. People tend to stick with well-known brands and companies that

comes to pricing. Large companies tend to charge more, and for many clients that

product or service you provide is top notch so that you’ll retain customer’s year after
year.

Knowledge
Experience as a manager is a must but so is knowledge. Going back to school is an investment that many
effective leaders have seen as a benefit not only to their professional work life but to their personal lives as
well. There are various degrees offered for managers, including a bachelor’s degree in business or a master’s
degree in leadership or project management. You can also get a certificate in project management,
entrepreneurship, ethics, or human resource management
Confidence
To be an effective manager, you need to be confident in your abilities, experience, and decision-making skills.
This doesn’t mean you have to be arrogant or feel that you’re better than your employees. But you’re in a
management role for a reason, your confidence will empower your team to be the best they can be.
Organization
If you aren’t organized in your position, there’s a good chance that the employees you manage
won’t be either. There are many resources online that can inspire you to get organized. A good
example is you can buy a personal planner or download an app on your phone that can remind you
of meetings, tasks you need to complete every day, etc.

direct the work of employees, making sure that the company’s goals are carried out and its
personnel policies are upheld.

The team members not only share expectations for accomplishing group tasks, but trust and support one
another and respect one another's individual differences.
Don't Be Overbearing = You want workers to perform even when you are not watching, so let them know
you respect their abilities by allowing them to make decisions and work without close supervision.
Policies and Procedures = Review the information with your employees and make sure they understand
your expectations, the consequences for violating workplace rules and your commitment to enforcing
guidelines consistently and fairly.
Identify Problems = Develop strategies for supervising the many types of difficult employees. Learn to
identify toxic employees and the best way to handle them before they disrupt the workplace. A slacker might
need closer supervision, clear timelines and quick responses to performance issues. An employee who
constantly challenges authority needs honest discussion about consequences and help correcting the
behavior through goal-setting and evaluation.
Tip = Take classes and training workshops that update and reinforce your supervisor and management
knowledge and skills.
