Today I’ve listened to the podcast called: “Entrepreneurialism: Nurture or nature?” This podcast is about being a successful entrepreneur and how to achieve it. So it is directly the same topic as we studied the previous time. Here is the link:
The duration of this podcast is 18 minutes but I’ve listened to it till the end as it is fairly interesting. During the first listening I understood about 90 – 95%. The rest part that I didn’t understand was the new words. But I looked them up in a dictionary after the first listening, and while listening the second time, I caught them all. I’ve learned some really useful expressions from this podcast, such as: gamble with future, overcome adversity, do something on the fly etc.
This record consists of 2 parts: the first is an interview with Julie Meyer and the second is about business schools for kids. In the interview Julie Meyer speaks about the ways of becoming a successful entrepreneur. She is best known for founding “First Tuesday” (a leading network of entrepreneurs) which she had built up for 2 years and then sold it for $50 million. Today she is the manager of “Ariadne Capital” an investment and advisory firm, focused on media and technology. That’s why she knows much about entrepreneurship. She says that an entrepreneur can be taught to be successful but many entrepreneurs say that they learn quickly rather than being taught because instinctively we don’t wanna feel that we are being taught by anyone in fact. It is better to be taught by life and experience. A successful entrepreneur should think differently, be creative and feel that he or she is capable of much more. According to Julie Meyer’s words, the main difference between a successful entrepreneur and unsuccessful is that a successful business builder is a persistent person. So, in order not to be off the mark you shouldn`t veer away from your ideas and you should keep your own way. Of course, it is tough to achieve persistence, and as a result of all the difficulties on entrepreneur’s way he or she is stressed out, disappointed and exhausted. So you should cope with stress and be able to find a way out to become a successful business builder. Successful entrepreneurs have some distinct features. They are people who feel compelled to gain a certain level of business or affairs. They feel compelled by their ego. It is very tight to their identity, they are impact people. But not only a smart person or a person with a high level of intelligence can stand the chance of success. It doesn’t mean, of course, that he/she can be dumb or lame. He or she should be able to do things on the fly, very fast, readjust them and figure many things out.
In the second part of the podcast it was said, that the British Government was trying to make business the heart of learning, therefore it had helped establishing of business schools for kids over 4 years. But it is going to take a generation to see whether teaching children about entrepreneurship actually leads the young people to be less dependent on unemployment and instead to be creators of their own successful business.
As for me, I agree with Julie Meyer but I think that despite the things mentioned above there must be a lucrative business, economical and political climate to run your business well in a certain country. That’s what we don’t have in Russia.
