The Ultimate Entrepreneur

I would say that one of the few people on this planet I would regard as the greatest entrepreneurs ever lived would be SM Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore.

When outcast into the little island of Singapore, with absolutely no natural resources on that island, most would have thought that it would eventually have to reconsider its decision of breaking away from Malaysia. Perhaps even getting on its knees to ask that it be rejoined with Malaysia.

But take a good look. It is still keeping way ahead,.........even without natural resources.

If given to another person other than SM Lee KY, Singapore today would just be an island filled with holiday resorts along its beaches. The same situation given to 2 different individuals would have resulted in such a vast different outcome.

The spirit of an entrepreneur is truly defined in having an UNDYING DESIRE TO SUCCEED, NO MATTER WHAT.

Starting out as an entrepreneur, you don't always have the key advantage or the resources to make it happen. Usually it is everyone else who seems to have an upper hand from where you stand. But it is your vision and purpose that sets you apart.

It is that vision and purpose that pulls the people who have the resources to come under you and work with you or for you. You may have nothing else but just that, and see what than can create............a corporate city like Singapore.

Take a good look and count the number of countries who have come this close without any natural resources found in its land.

A true entrepreneur is truly one who can create value where other cannot.
