Most large companies do not know how to make the best use of clever.

Employees who criticize the old ways of doing

things and want to try out new ideas are dislike both by their collegues and by their bosses. Comments like ‘They
wouldn’t listen to me’ or ‘I kept presenting new product ideas, only to hear nothing’ are typical of many a manage
who become an entrepeneur. All of this causes frustation, which can quickly lead to boredom. Often, middle manager
start to think: ‘Only another 30 more years of working my way retirement.’ At thi spoint, they want to find a way out.
They need to get away from a job that is no longer attractive. So they decide to set up on their own. But they need
something else, too: the challenge of taking risks. They are like people who clim a mountain by the most dangerous
route. Enterpreneurial types need to try out new things without knowing wheter they will succed or fail. They also
want to prove that they can make it without big sompany support. As well as motivaton, most successful enterpreneurs
have a number of personal characteristics in common. The first is self-confidence, the feeling of certainty that you
have got the skills, knowledge and energy to build up your own business. There is also stubbornnes, the
determination to prove to the boss who rejected your ideas that they were good ideas which can be made to work.
Possesing this quality means that you won’t give up: you have to make your ideas work.
