What makes really makes them different from everyone else? I have discovered that it is their drive and commitment that set them apart from all the rest. They make a commitment to themselves and say, “I do!” If you are an entrepreneur – raise your right hand and repeat after me…
The Entrepreneur’s Creed – Written by Debra Kasowski
I believe I became a business owner to make a difference in people’s lives by being the solution and not the problem.
I will not give up when the going gets tough.
I will rise to the challenge and even seek them out if necessary.
I shall do my due dilgence with every deal.
I will learn from the lessons from my mistakes and may others forgive me if I have wronged them.
I am here to serve first and help people in the process.
I will share my talents, skills, and abilities with others.
I will give back to my community and leave a legacy I wish to be remembered for.
I will know my worth and charge for it. After all I am an entrepreur, this is how I make a living.
I will look my fears in the face and use them to my advantage.
I must set my agenda around my lifestyle and aim to create balance.
I will ask for help and guidance along the journey – I have a 50% chance they will say yes!
I will focus on what my goals and the direction I wish to head.
I will lead the way and help others climb to their highest potential.
I will not compare myself to others – I am unique and no one can do it my way!
I shall look for the possibilities and opportunities in every challenge.
I will stay motivated by celebrating my wins as I live my passion.
I will step out of my comfort zone on a regular basis as I stretch, I will grow into the person I have yet to be.
I have a voice and a message I must share with the world.
I will take full responsibility for my actions and commit to being my very best each day.
Above all, I will remember the “why” I became a business owner,
I believe I became a business owner to make a difference!
I do!
If you loved this post and creed, please share it with your fellow business owners. When in doubt, always go back to your “why”. Watch your ideas grow and ensure you are celebrating your journey!
Thank you for making the commitment to your dreams so people’s lives can be better!
