Rotaract Jumeirah unlocks the secrets behind successful entrepreneurs at The Extraordinary Entrepreneurial Mindset What does it take to be an entrepreneur? That was the question that our line-up of incredible professional speakers tried to answer during the full-day workshop organised by the Rotaract Club of Jumeirah, Dubai on Saturday June 11.
Highly recognised speakers shared their experiences and provided guidelines to define the mindset behind a successful entrepreneur. To kick off the seminar, Peter Sage who founded his first business at 17 stressed on learning by practice and warned from being addicted to what he calls certainty. “Most people set up goals because they’ve been told to, while we need to set goals that inspire us because they shape who we need to become in our wonderful journey”.
Claire Fenner, co-founder of Heels & Deals a global network of female entrepreneurs addressed the challenges entrepreneurs face as change makers. “Is it economically viable to have an own business? In fact, you need to have a goal and a mission that matters to overcome the challenges that you’ll find on your way if you’d like to become a successful entrepreneur”.
Matthew Ranson, shared his top 10 rules to become a successful entrepreneur and explored the question: “Are entrepreneurs born or made?”
1. Make the commitment
2. Find a problem then solve it
3. Think big. Think new. Think again
4. You can’t do it alone
5. You must do it alone
6. Manage risk
7. Learn to lead
8. Learn to sell
9. Persist, persevere, prevail
10. Time, not money, is the key resource
What is your take on the key attributes to become a successful entrepreneur? Based on what we saw, most of our speakers had a common point, which was that they believed in themselves so much that they inspired people around them. The key learning expressed with so much truth by Hussein Hallak was that “a good entrepreneur should be able to engage people, but also take action to go for it”. Isn’t it what we as individuals should do anyway to develop ourselves and achieve our best? Shouldn’t this be part of our ‘continuous learning’ to find and enhance our ‘unique abilities’ as stated by Marwan Chaar? We will let you think about it.
Finally, we would like to end this post by thanking the amazing people behind this event: Mathieu Mondan, Varun Kapur & Tomell Caesar Desilva. They said “ There were 2 primary reasons for this event, the first was to educate and the second to raise awareness for the Senses School for Disabled Children who were also in attendance at The Palace Hotel. The feedback received has been very positive and we are proud about that. We achieved our objectives and look forward to giving back to the community in the near future. Part 2 coming soon!” Well done guys and stunning result!
