Introduction
It is a way of thinking, reasoning and acting, framed in the obsession with opportunity with a holistic approach and with a very well-balanced leadership. In this chapter we will realize how important it is to undertake an idea, a proposal or even a dream, we must fight and not give up until we get what we most desire, we constantly hear from people who travel the world where they see such novel and useful things that also we can develop them, we must promote the culture of being risky not staying with what we normally imitate from foreigners or what is imported: with that one thinks that we have to break with the products and services that new entrepreneurs have always offered us should you realize that people change and therefore products and services have to.
I consider that all people unconsciously walk the world machining new forms of products and services that facilitate our daily lives, the difference is that those people who are enterprising, diligent, are those who today are owners of important businesses that started at home, in a garage, a farm, or some other small place, they did not sleep thinking about the best way to carry it out, they appropriated that dream, they studied it, they made him want and his idea became reality. It is important that we recognize our entrepreneurial spirit.
Boosting stronger and more lasting growth and creating more and better quality jobs can only be achieved by starting from two fundamental points: creating a favorable environment for small and medium-sized companies and promoting a culture more based on entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is risky and requires self-confidence and autonomy as well as its success and failure are inherent in the reality of the market economy.
The intrinsic meaning of entrepreneurship
The definition of entrepreneurship is what in English would be called Entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship can be understood as the development of innovative projects or opportunities to make a profit. The ability to Buy at certain prices, or to buy at unknown prices, can also be considered: as the ability to develop a new idea or Modify an existing one to translate it into a profitable and Productive social activity, but not all entrepreneurs seek the Economic benefit; there are people who seek social or political goals.
Being an entrepreneur is also a way of thinking, reasoning and acting focused on opportunities, presented with a global vision and carried out through balanced leadership and the management of calculated risk. The result of the Entrepreneurial Spirit is a creation of value from which the Company, the economy, society and the same creative or entrepreneur benefit.
The social importance of entrepreneurship
Currently, the entrepreneurial spirit has been losing ground in the lives of people, since the economic, political and social spheres in each of the individuals have led the latter to demonstrate high levels of conformity. Social entrepreneurs have two Outstanding attributes: An innovative idea that produces significant social change and an entrepreneurial vision when it comes to carrying out your projects. These people possess the vision, creativity, and determination traditionally associated with business entrepreneurs. Social entrepreneurs are committed to generating Systematic social change instead of being motivated by the spirit of profit. There are social entrepreneurs, civic entrepreneurs and Commercial entrepreneurs. What do business entrepreneurs have in common,Social entrepreneurs and civic entrepreneurs Pasión. View. Determination. Creativity. Leadership power. Ability to take risks. Entrepreneurs see themselves as those who live in the history of particular Communities and who actively engage in Social commitments. Without a doubt, living in this type of historical communities is part of the human being, but what matters is the experience that one has of that aspect and how it is perfected. It is precisely from the cultivation of commitments to their communities of customers, neighbors, employees and others that Entrepreneurs derive their success.Entrepreneurs see themselves as those who live in the history of particular Communities and who actively engage in Social commitments.

The realization of themselves also has a different place for Entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurial worker or citizen does not explore their own Talents and inspirations as much as their sensitivity to the discords, tensions and Conflicts of value shared by many people in their community. The Entrepreneur explores ways of living that lead in some way to resolving Discord and brings together a group of people to make the decision totally effective.
Entrepreneurs do not simply reinterpret and develop Local knowledge, as someone with a career does. The entrepreneur experiments with local Knowledge to change it. As experimenters, they neither respond to the Truths of previous professionals nor follow established routines. They are sensitive to how daily situations differ from those of the previous day. They are constantly looking for new ways to resolve constant disagreements.
Comprehensive approach of the entrepreneur
The entrepreneur who wants to carry out a business project must be generally committed and related to the activity to be carried out, as it should not be guided only by the idea of earning money. On the other hand, there are incentives that mobilize people to be entrepreneurs, such as:
- Independence and freedom to make decisions. Take risks. Seek recognition and prestige in the community where you live. Develop a vocation independently. Carry out an individual or family life project.
Entrepreneur approaches
Business models and strategies are changing; therefore, it is worth reviewing the entrepreneur's new approaches by comparing them to previous ones:
I don't lose the floor
1) Old approach: A great idea.
New approach: A clear vision.
Powell points out that great ideas are not criticizable, except that
They survive alone. They demand a clear vision. What is the difference? The clear vision
It is executable, while it is more difficult to put great ideas into practice.
II Be more human, less technological
2) Old approach: Technology oriented.
New approach: Customer-oriented.
Powell cautions that it's not about what technology allows you to do but about what
That customers are willing to pay. Is it obvious? Maybe it is not. The
Employers usually choose those areas in which they have knowledge
Technicians, which often leads them to focus on the characteristics of the
Product more than customer needs. Although it seems that they think
In the demands of the clientele, they may not focus all their efforts on
The real needs.
III Seek the functional, not the trivial.
3) Old approach: High financing.
New approach: Cheap proofs of concept.
Is it really $ 50 million to test a concept? Question
Powell, who considers that the question is tricky, because the answer is, without
Doubt, negative or, at least, it should be. And, despite the excesses of recent
Years, any businessman would agree with Powell, even if only
For financing reasons. In turn, Young highlights that most of the
Entrepreneurs their clients cannot afford to invest millionaire funds in
Put concepts to the test.
IV Go back to school.
4) Old approach: Improvised administration.
New approach: Professional management.
It is evident that many administration teachers recommend that
Entrepreneurs go back to college to learn how to run their businesses. And in
This new approach, perhaps there is more than personal interest. As you warn
Powell with a tone of mockery, Perhaps the new economy has not exceeded the
Administrative knowledge of the past. Actually the expert wants
Stress that perhaps having business intuition is no longer enough. And it's not the only one
In adopting this position. Despite the fact that, at present, many schools of
Administration in some countries concentrate efforts on implementing or
Enrich business programs.
V Chase the customer, walk alongside the investor.
5) Old approach: Energy invested in obtaining financing.
New approach: Energy invested in getting customers.
Powell claims that it is the clients, not the investors, who generate the
Wealth; and Dignan agrees that the investor is the vehicle that enables, But that success depends, mainly, on having a clientele.
The entrepreneurial process
The process for starting a new business is called a process.
Entrepreneur and is divided into four phases
Phase 0. Motivation phase.
Summon potential entrepreneurs and awaken and identify in them the
Characteristics of entrepreneurial behavior.
Phase 1. Training phase.
Training the Entrepreneur in Knowledge Areas essential for development
After the business project.
Phase 2. Development phase of the business project.
Supported and accompanied by a Tutor, the Entrepreneur develops the project
Business, which involves:
- Product-Market Study. Technical-Productive Study. Economic-Financial Study. Prototype Preparation to test the viability of the new activity.
The tutor is a constant guide and is responsible for the project
Phase 3. Constitution and launch: start-up.
Post-constitution phase: First year after the constitution of the company. He
Entrepreneur maintains the accompaniment and co-responsibility of the Tutor.
Phase 4. Development phase.

During the entrepreneurial process, the Opportunity must be identified, evaluated and developed in the form of a business. The process is divided into stages that Although they follow a sequential flow, none can be carried out in isolation nor can they be completed without taking into account factors from the next stage. These stages are as follows: Identification and evaluation of the opportunity
Development of a business plan Determination of the required resources Administration of the resulting company.
