There is a persistent debate over the topic of whether entrepreneurs are born or made. • If we look around and observe the lives of the successful entrepreneurs of the world, we would find that very few of them had lead anything different from an average normal life. • Now, the question still lingers, what is that which makes some of us become successful? • There are many scholars who believe that one must have luck to get the right motivation in life and discover the entrepreneur in themselves. This view cannot be completely ignored. • Alternately there are those who take the counterpoint advocate the need for conscious effort to enhance one’s entrepreneurial spirit. • They talk of three main steps a person should follow to achieve entrepreneurial success.
Find out your capabilities • First of all, you need to discover the things you can do. • This depends upon your personal aptitude and the skills you have developed over all your years of learning. • Understanding what you can do will also tell you about the things you cannot do. • In classical words, the first step to becoming a successful entrepreneur is to understand your strengths and weaknesses. • But once you identify them, stay persistent in your goal! As Jack Ma, founder of Ali Baba says, “If you don’t give up, you still have a chance. Giving up is the greatest failure.”
Find the right gap in the market • Once you have understood your capabilities, and also, limitations, the next step would be to look out at the market you would operate to bring a substantial change. • You must find out what people would like you to do. • If you fail to find the right gap, all your efforts, would prove to be futile. • Let us take the example of real estate entrepreneur, Mr. Varun Manian. • He was able to build his empire in the city of Chennai, because he could understand the visible gap in the market. • Not only did he offer reliability, a scarce trait in the property developers of today. • Mr. Varun Manian has also consolidated his empire by providing ancillary services to home owners that includes real estate management, housekeeping services and NRI services among others.
Find the right channels • Once the right gap has been discovered, the success of an entrepreneur lies in the channels he or she chooses. • In fact, the mistake of choosing a wrong channel would lead one down a blind alley. • This means that once you have established a gap in the market you need to identify the right way to fill that gap. • Joe Gebbia, co-founder of Air BnB chose to establish his business online. • This automatically made it an effective business proposition. • Providing a portal online for both renters and landlords illustrates how he chose the right medium and the channel for his idea.
