What makes them Entrepreneurial? # 16

Their ignorance in knowing their “Limits”!

I learned the other day that there is nothing called ‘pessimistic’ entrepreneurs. ‘Optimism’ is an inevitable attribute of any entrepreneur. They think that all things are possible and they can achieve that. Read my previous post on how entrepreneurs are overconfident about their abilities.

Since our childhood, our parents, our friends and our teachers always warn us about our “limits” and guide us to sense those limits and take steps accordingly. Since childhood, we develop this sense of limits. These are the limits of what we can and cannot accomplish.

Knowing your limits is about being realistic. Many times, it is not based on any logic but is a purely emotional decision. These are the reality checks, which tell us that – whether are we capable of accomplishing it; are we good enough to make it work and are we passionate enough to make it long lasting. We always question our ability based on our sense of limits.

Entrepreneurs don’t!

The difference between an entrepreneurial person and a non-entrepreneurial person is that non-entrepreneurial person has its own limits. — Aditya Kothadiya

Entrepreneurs either don’t have this sense of limits or they know how to fight against it. Sky is the only limit for them. Removing the sense of limits unleashes the creativity and innovative approaches, which are the key factors of a successful entrepreneurship.

There are no speed limits on the road to excellence. –David W. Johnson
