How does “What am I doing in life? “I have told you a dozen times!
Yes I am an entrepreneur, that’s it, it’s almost a year now.
What I’m doing with my days?
Well listen, I see my clients, I meet new,
I try to improve my product, sometimes I work on my communication.
And what my business is and what it changes in the world?
Well listen, you ask me a glue, there!
This exchange, I could have twenty times.
At one point, as many young professionals and students,
I wanted to work differently,
I wanted to take,
I wanted to take the reins of my life,
I wanted to get things my way.
And finally, being within,
I found myself very reminiscent of an ideal,
think about the products that I will be proud to present to my clients.
I even spent three weeks
to think about the design of my website.
Imagine the waste of time.
Finally, the goals I set for myself
became the brakes.
And these obstacles, finally,
they made me act only 20% of my time.
20% of my time dedicated to creating value,
dedicated to meeting the needs that I identified in my clients.
It was not me.
So, I decided to change course, and,
I joined a large company, a sports leader operates in 40 countries.
I seemed to be the antithesis of entrepreneurship,
I, who dreamed of freedom, able to act as I wanted,
and to take the path that I liked.
But I was mistaken: this company in full managerial release
it was a breeding ground for people like me,
who wanted to work differently, to change things.
The big advantage to be undertaken in a company that has forty years of activity
is that everything is already in place.
You know, tools, network,
these methods, for which entrepreneurs are fighting for years
it was already there, I just had to ride it.
Imagine just two minutes:
you are an entrepreneur,
and you can one-click access to 80 000 customers.
It’s true though!
Think again, you’re always contractor,
and you do not even have to worry about
how to pay your rent at the end of the month.
It’s magic, it’s the dream of every entrepreneur, I guess.
By joining this company,
I swapped a little bit of my freedom.
For cons, I had gained a lot of tools, security, serenity.
And by freeing myself of all these constraints,
I found myself to be able to actually create value,
act in line with my passion,
with what really animated me with my senses.
In my opinion, create value is to help others,
is to contribute to someone’s success is shared,
is someone to accompany her dream destination,
that’s how I see value creation.
There are about a year,
I seized the opportunity
animating vision to 10 years in this business in France.
I came out of a frame I was given
to create value on a larger scale, that of the company,
in connection with what really animated me.
And I could live my passion of sharing and generosity
by meeting, inspiring,
by helping hundreds of men and women who were students.
At that time, I felt much happier, much more accomplished.
I have long thought that the equation of entrepreneurship,
finally, it was a nice idea,
and finance, and it would generate a result.
Today, I am convinced of something else: I am convinced that undertaking,
is finding its singularity, more action
within a structure that we selected, and that’s creating value.
I’ll give you a very concrete example,
I talk to Alan.
He is a friend a little wacky,
who believes so strongly
that what we have ended up owning us,
he decided not possess home.
Still,
overnight: “I do not want to home, I am homeless. “
it has an activity that allows him and asks him to travel extensively.
During his travels,
he decided to stay with colleagues around the world.
Starting from this singularity,
this thing that makes it unique,
Alan has created a collaborative hosting service in his business,
allowing all employees traveling on business
to be hosted by another colleague in the chosen destination.
Rather than the hotel,
you find yourself visiting a new city,
discover a culture or sport,
with anyone there, a local.
Something wonderful,
Alan had left that made it unique,
he really believed that sharing approached the men,
he acted in a company,
he relied on what existed,
it has created value:
allow people to meet,
allow people to share.
Now I want to ask you:
What makes you unique?
What makes you unique?
Tell me, what’s that you’re unique?
What’s that you’re unique?
What’s that you’re curious?
Think about two minutes.
Once you find her, this singularity,
which is the starting point for all your actions
find a structure,
any, that allows you to act quickly,
you start.
maybe
this will be the start-up that you plan to create your neighbor
and better.
Maybe this will be the company
in which you are already working for three years,
or perhaps even
it will be the association in which you invest.
Finally, we either contractor or intrapreneurs,
the important thing is to find its uniqueness and act quickly,
how you want to create value, that you want to bring to the world,
how you want to help others,
and begin to move.
You have all the cards in hand to solve the equation.
I hope you’ll create even more value than you do already.
Well now you know what it is to undertake. You understood ?
Thank you.
