6 Reasons Why People Become Entrepreneurs
What do you picture when you hear the word “Entrepreneur”?
Let’s name the most obvious answers…
a middle-aged man in a suit
a young university dropout who realised they would rather risk it all to pursue their dreams
a bold, inspired woman who is changing the image of the label known as “entrepreneurship”
an unlikely duo who decided to team up and solve a problem in an industry they are passionate about
best friends who always knew they’d launch their own business one day
All of the answers are valid!
But there’s so much more to the story of being an Entrepreneur.
Here are 6 of the biggest reasons people decide to pursue the path of becoming an entrepreneur and how their journeys might differ!
1. THEY HAVE BIG DREAMS
The number one reason anyone would decide to become an Entrepreneur is to pursue their dreams.
When the Universe invites you on a journey of self-actualisation, you either answer the call or you watch the people around you channel their potential day after day…
Brave are the people who choose to pursue their dreams, but it takes a lot more than bravery to decide to GO FOR IT — it’s inner drive that pushes you so far out of your comfort zone that you ACTUALLY DO IT!
The people who become Entrepreneurs to achieve their dreams spend years showing up daily without ever realising that it’s precisely because they were consistent in their efforts that they got to see their biggest desires accomplished in their lifetime.
If you’re a Dreamer, you have been blessed with receiving ideas that will help you better yourself and better the lives of millions of others.
Once upon a time Martin Luther King Jr started a speech with 4 simple words that inspired the whole world “I have a dream”.
Today you have a chance to do the same when you listen to your heart and understand what your dream is, so that you can pursue it and make the world a better place for us all.
2. THEY CAN SPOT THE PROBLEMS
The second most common reason for people to become Entrepreneurs is their ability to spot the problems in their environment.
Whether this applies to school, work or their home life, they are always able to recognise what’s not going well and call it out!
Today’s society may be technologically advanced, but it still has plenty of issues, bureaucracy and systemic corruption to resolve.
Entrepreneurs who are ready to speak the truth, defend the people who are in need of a protector and call out the BS in everyday conversations might just be the modern day Superheroes!
It takes resilience to go against the system and shake up the status quo by bringing Light to the truth.
If you’re a Motivational Speaker or a Public Defender of the Truth, you have been blessed with the ability to see through the illusions and understand exactly where the problems lie, so that you can raise awareness as to what’s wrong and unite people to work towards resolutions side by side.
Sure, this Entrepreneurial path means having to walk some of the journey on your own, but your mission will naturally invite people to join you as you slowly but surely unite strengths to bring resolutions into today’s world.
This type of entrepreneurship will likely connect you to people of the next type…
3. THEY ARE CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVERS
No two Entrepreneurs make a better fit than a person who’s able to spot the problems and a person who loves problem solving!
The third reason people pursue entrepreneurship is due to their natural ability to solve problems. No issue is too big for their advanced imagination and creative intelligence!
There’s an infinite amount of solutions and the Creative Entrepreneur has tapped into the power of the infinite intelligence to be able to bring a solution to any problem that comes their way.
Creative Entrepreneurs have the unique advantage of being able to rely on their logical abilities to strategise while advancing their intuitive side to receive inspiration as they continue to pave their own path.
Not all Creative Entrepreneurs are building a career in the creative spaces, but they all have tapped into their creative potential, which is what allows them to be ahead of their competitors in any chosen market.

4. THEY LOVE ACCOUNTABILITY
Some people disrupt the status quo wherever they go.
Can you guess why?
It’s their innate ability to show up and do the work they said they were going to do day after day until the change has been completed.
Disruptors are people like you and me that have learned the power of speaking up and moving in alignment with their core values every step of the way.
Everyone’s capable of becoming a Disruptor. Everyone can develop and advance their accountability to the level of being a Leader in their own community.
The Disruptive Entrepreneurs of society are the people with a relentless Spirit who don’t get discouraged when they get rejected or ignored. They are the leaders who play the long game of changing the world!
Listen to the story of Disruptor Stacey Gonzales who pivoted her career from Education to Entreprenership:
5. THEY ARE GREAT AT COMMUNITY BUILDING
The Entrepreneurs that can awaken the Spirit of others have the power to make great community leaders!
They have amazing people skills and when they channel their potential towards a vision, they can create change on a societal level.
Community and leadership are all about the people you’re serving.
The Entrepreneurs who understand how to use their gift of empathy can inspire a massive shift in humanity during their lifetime of serving as leaders.
Whether they are driven by their desire to protect people or to unite them, the Social Entrepreneurs are the extroverts with great capacity for human interactions.
While introverts have a lot of empathy that helps them create solutions for global problems, their biggest asset is their ability to work in isolation from society, so that they can “ground” more of the vision for tomorrow’s Earth.
6. THEY PURSUE A HIGHER CALLING
In order for you to assist the ascension of humanity and benefit society as a whole, you must dedicate yourself to the path of self-growth / self-mastery.
The leaders who are able to redesign the world are those who have had the most time to change and upgrade their inner world during their lifetime.
The change we wish to see in the world starts with changing ourselves!
The Spiritual Entrepreneur has a huge calling for they have accepted full responsibility over changing their own behaviour to become a complete match to the type of change they wish to create in the world.
This path is probably the most difficult one to choose to pursue, because it requires a lot of sacrifices and many solitary seasons as you’re working to channel more of your potential into messages, solutions and structures for others.
The Spiritual Entrepreneur is 50% picked by the Universe and 50% a choice that one can make at any point of their life when they’re ready to live with more meaning, authenticity and purpose.
