This essay is about entrepreneurs. Some of us reading this article may be entrepreneurs or at least call ourselves so. The fact is, many may qualify to be called entrepreneurs but few can be described remarkable – the folks who turn the world around and make a real difference. These people have some qualities in them that the rest of don’t have.
One of these qualities in remarkable entrepreneurs is that they uncompromisingly hunt for new experiences continually. They never get stuck in something regardless of how exciting or comforting it might be. You may pause for a moment and write down the names of a few well-known ground-breaking entrepreneurs and check whether they pass this test. Chances are that they will all past the ‘novelty –seeking’ test.
I assume that these folks ask themselves while on a current task is ‘what would the future be if I tried something new’ and ‘is it possible I could make a greater impact by doing something else (may be in addition to what I’m doing now)’
When you get bored or have less to do, do you fill in with drugs, excessive alcohols and other destructive activities? You can learn from these remarkable entrepreneurs. Find something new and challenging to do. Ask about how that will make the future better for you and your community. If you can practice that, you’re on your way to be like one of them.
