OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP AS A CAREER

Definition of Terms:

Entrepreneur – people who sense opportunity and take risks in the face of
uncertainty. One who has a fire, a passion for their mission.

Entrepreneurship - refers to the act of creating a business or businesses while

building and scaling it to generate a profit.

Small business owners – those who manage their own companies/business

usually with 100 or less employees. They may also perform all tasks.

Economy -is the system of production, distribution and consumption. It is also the
over-all measure of currency system.

Business Venture- any entrepreneurial enterprise that is created to make money.

Career opportunities entrepreneurs start new businesses and take risk and
rewards of being an owner. This is the ultimate career in capitalism-putting your
idea to work in a competitive economy. Some of the new ventures generate
enormous wealth for the entrepreneur.

If you are an aspiring entrepreneur, there are different career paths you can
take to turn your dream into a reality. Which path you choose will depend on your
experience, skills, finances, and flexibility, as well as your goals for the future
(Doyle, A.2020).

Career opportunities you might pursue according to Michalowicz (2011) as

cited by Edralin D.M. 2016).

Benefits and Downside of Entrepreneurship as a Career

 Benefits:
 Freedom- one of the best parts of being an entrepreneur is the complete
freedom of doing your own thing. No more bosses to report to, or
managers peering over your shoulder- now you’ve gone the bottom all
the way to the top. You are the boss.

 Flexibility - a flexible schedule- both in terms of when and where to work.

Many people are excited to work for themselves because it means they
can work when they want and where they want. It is one of the best
advantages of being entrepreneur. It is hard to come by this amount
of flexibility in any other job!

 Control – many budding entrepreneurs value control. Getting your own

venture off the ground requires heavy lifting but at the end of the day,
it’s your dream and you are in control of making exciting parts of
being an entrepreneur.

 Profits – instead of making others richer, now your profits can slide right into
your own pocket. This means each business success becomes your
success, and as your business grows, so does your potential income.
This can be incredibly motivating for many new entrepreneurs on the
path to success.

 Cons:
 Responsibility- not only is the future of your business in your hands but so is
your next paycheck. Moving away from a salaried job to an unstable
 income is hard. There is great sacrifice that comes from staring your
own business, and while the pay-off maybe worth it, carrying the
weight of responsibility can be difficult.
 Risk- as the business owner, you will take on much of the risk associated with
starting a new venture. This means, instead of your employer taking
the fall, you are often risking your savings, time and effort to get your
business off the guard.

 Workload – it takes serious hustle to get a new business up and running, and
for the most part, you will be doing the grunt work-especially in the
early stages. All the heavy lifting can be hard for one person to manage.
While it can be exciting time, full of responsibility, it can be also
exhausting.

 Limitations – the idea of running of running your own business can be very
different to the reality. From late nights to lonely weekends, being an
entrepreneur is not without its challenges. You can also find it quite
limiting in the early stages, without the funding of a big name or well-
established business behind you.

Reasons Why Many Would Like to Become an Entrepreneur

1. Achievement, Challenge, and Learning- it applies to anyone with a strong need

for self-expression and desire to create. One wants to become an entrepreneur,
so they have a way to express their creativity, apply their skills, and solve
challenging problems.

2. Independence and Autonomy –you can set your own goals, pick your own
partners, and face the consequences of your decisions.

3. Income Security and Financial Success- one of the best options for achieving
financial security is starting a business and creating their own opportunity.

4. Recognition and Status- depending on the community and culture,

entrepreneurs can be either celebrated or vilified. Entrepreneurs who create
enormous wealth for themselves and their communities are not automatically
recognized as citizens we would like to emulate. Much depends on how they
made their money and what they do with it.

5. Family- in many parts of the world, business is the only way to maintain
financial and social stability. The well-being of the family is a powerful
motivator for young entrepreneurs looking for a vocation.

6. Dissatisfaction with Current Work Arrangements- a bad boss, poor pay, job
discrimination, force retirement and no opportunity are strong motivators for
business start-ups and entrepreneurial activity.
7. Community and Social Motivation- many entrepreneurs are motivated by a
desire to give back to the community or solve an ongoing social problem, such
as to create jobs in communities that need them the most.
