Motivation as an Entrepreneur

A number of reasons were forwarded by several entrep guests in the last two weeks:

l.  Making other peoples lives better;
At the start, it would be making a name for yourself or making more wealth and money.  But beyond that according to Melvin Nacional and Antonio Tiu of ANI, it is about making other peoples lives better.  How to make more satisfied and happy customers. more skillful employees, more taxes for the government, etc.

2. Deprivation imposed by parents
Atty Bong Suntay says he owes it to his father, not to have given him everything that he wants in life; maybe just what he needs.  Although he did not get a nice car while studying in DLSU, he was given a beat up a Toyota Corolla, did not get gas and repair allowance.  But he was sent to Samson Tech school.  So now, he has the most number of taxi under the name Basic, and drives a Lombarghini.  Can you beat that.?

3.  I was fired
This, was according to Ms Monette Iturralde-Hamlin motivated her to organize what is now Team Asia, a powerhouse in marketing and other management consulting in Asia. She was fired at what was then World Executive Digest, when it was bought.


4.  I do not want to be an apprentice anymore, I dont want to do menial tasks anymore
According to Capt. Roberto Neri, he could not stand anymore being yelled at or do menial task in the ship.So he struggled to be a captain which he did.  However, while working for somebody else, the company he was working in was sequestered.  He could not stand the slow decision making and the hordes of PCGG comptrollers  So he quit and put up his own.
