It is Benel D. Lagua, Executive Vice President at the Development Bank of the Philippines, an active FINEX member and a long-time advocate of risk-based lending for SMEs, who is quite right in opining that these days, ‘it is fashioble to become an entrepreneur, to start one’s own business according to one’s values and to be your own boss…running a business may not be for everyone and to believe anyone can be a business entrepreneur is a myth. Entrepreneurship entails taking a lot of risk and people’s attitudes towards risk vary considerably.  Risk taking requires a specific persolity type and a special mental toughness. Successful entrepreneurs have special skills not all of us possess. They are astute magers of money, people and resources. They are quick to identify opportunities where other people only see problems and challenges. They are comfortable with uncertainties, changes and a volatile environment and have a readiness to take calculated risks (not gamble). They are good negotiators and can deal well with all kinds of people, from the lower workers in the organization to the most sophisticated partners and customers. They are good implementers and executors who walk the talk. They get up when they initially fall down and are resilient and consistently on the go. They are not easily discouraged and are passiote about what they do’.
Business is risk-based, locate, measure, control and mage, success is the result !!
