Employment is to work to fulfil boss's dreams,

If you want to start a business you should have a big plan of how you want to do it and then no matter where you are in your life you can start the bussiness.

We have examples of communities like Gujarati, Marwari community from India. That is a good example to discuss and analyse how this community migrated and establish themselves as successful entrepreneur at different places.

Entrepreneurship studies

What is Entrepreneurship??

An entrepreneurship is a business or other organization started by an entrepreneur, or business person. The enterprise can be for profit or be a non-profit venture. Business management skills, marketing knowledge, an understanding of the demand of the product or service as well as risk management analysis are all crucial considerations in an entrepreneurship.

Risk management is important when starting up a new business, especially as many entrepreneurships fail in the first year. Expenses have to be covered and the entrepreneur must have the initiative and time available to invest in the enterprise. The risks such as start-up funds that could be lost have to be calculated and then deemed acceptable by the prospective entrepreneur before he or she goes ahead with the entrepreneurship.

The demand for the product or service also has to be calculated carefully by the prospective entrepreneur. What is the expected demand for the product or service? Will the business be able to meet the expected demand? These are just some of the questions that need to be answered before deciding if an entrepreneurship is a good idea.

Marketing knowledge is also essential for the entrepreneur. He or she must understand how to promote the product or service, what price it should be sold for, how and when the product will be produced and how and where the product will be sold. There are many marketing details to be figured out if the entrepreneurship is to be a success.

Business management skills such as planning, budgeting, record-keeping and negotiating are also important to an entrepreneurship. The entrepreneur must be able to work well alone on many different aspects of the business, at least until employees are hired. Entrepreneurships are considered beneficial to the economy as they usually create new jobs as they experience growth.

Non-profit entrepreneurships can provide needed community services, but they require the same skills as for-profit businesses. These entrepreneurships must meet regulations about how donations are used and often must have their finances publicly displayed. Most non-profit entrepreneurships rely on volunteers to meet their objectives.

MANILA, March 7, 2005 (STAR) By Ching M. Alano - Socorro Ramos’ success story: One for the book - In the ballroom of a five-star hotel packed with men in crisp barong tagalog and women in chic ternos, no one was the least bit surprised when Socorro Ramos’ name was called to receive this year’s Entrepreneur Of The Year Award. Perhaps no one except for Socorro "Nanay Coring" herself. She was busy collecting the untouched leftover chicken of the other guests seated at her table. The anxious Nanay Coring forgot to give her driver dinner money and couldn’t wait to brown-bag the four pieces of chicken that auspiciously landed on her plate, courtesy of her seatmates, for her driver.

There was standing ovation. Applause thundered across the room as a smiling-but-unbelieving Nanay Coring made her way to the stage in an Inno Sotto gown that she borrowed from her daughter-in-law Virgie Ramos, who called up Inno to rush a new panuelo for Nanay for this Oscar night of the business world.

(The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award honors entrepreneurs whose ingenuity and perseverance have created and sustained successful, growing business ventures. Begun in 1986, Ernst & Young has since awarded the most successful and innovative entrepreneurial business leaders in more than 115 cities in 35 countries around the globe. The winners become lifetime members of The Entrepreneur Of The Year Hall of Fame, which is part of the Entrepreneur Of The Year Academy.)

That night, Nanay Coring went home with three trophies: as one of 17 finalists, another as Woman Entrepreneur Of The Year, and finally as Entrepreneur Of The Year. Three cheers for Nanay!

But the loudest applause that night probably came from the two tables occupied by members of the Ramos family – children and grandchildren, all present and accounted for. Twins Alfredo and Benjamin Ramos and only daughter Cecilia Ramos-Licauco couldn’t be prouder of their mother.

"They had to pay for their dinner," says Nanay, the heart and soul behind the National Book Store. "Ako libre."

Of course, Nanay Coring knows there’s no such thing as a free lunch. She’s always worked for what she has. Tagged as the super tindera, she inherited her business savvy from her grandmother, Aling Akang, who supported her family by buying and selling bananas, bakya, gugo, and other assorted goods. So good is Nanay at what she does that she could probably sell you an old toothbrush. At 81 (born Sept. 23, 1923 in Sta. Cruz, Laguna), Nanay Coring has the boundless energy of a 20-year-old and an undiminished passion for work.
