Business. Innovation. Entrepreneurship. Society
The truth is that half of the world's wealth is now in hands of 1% of the population. How is
this possible?
Well, this 1% of the population has the education, the
information, the skills and intelligence to use the technology in their favour
so they can rule the world.
(from the Biz Magazine Romanian Values Gala in May 2019)
Equality nowadays? Well, maybe equal opportunities tendencies. One will be able to develop more than another just
because of better opportunities, ambition, set up goals. And we talk here about
intelligence, memory and creativity. These people who run the world are
extremely creative, never get enough, never consider themselves tired to do
more! We talk about emotional intelligence too.

It's true, some can do more than the others because of the fact that they
WANT to do so!! Congratulations to them, they will make history, they will
remain in history.

The beauty of this phenomenon is that this 1 % of the population
is very well educated, optimistic, wise and humble: they love to give, they
love to share, they love to contribute and help. The power is with them though
and they control everything. These people are rulers, businessman and businesswomen, entrepreneurs.

We live in ..
A world of change, a world of financial power in the digital
era, a world controlled, mastered and
ruled by those who know one word or two about FOS (future of the
society), Forex, Cryptocurrencies, Block
Chain, On-line trading, ETS (education through sports), UBI (universal basic
income), MB (matched betting), VR (virtual reality), E-Commerce and many more.
Will you cope with it and stay with those who rule the world or embrace the conservatism and follow the ones who possess the secret of life?

Some like the comfort zone, but success comes from aspiration, desperation, perspiration, inspiration and business angels (sic)! The
capability of being an entrepreneur is actually the capability of being a
menteur – the entrepreneurial form of mentor (entrepreneur + mentor = menteur). This skill comes from long time education (reading every day), long time practice (getting experience by doing) and personality (which goes again to
education). Knowledge and education are important!
Another important thing: great companies start with great
people, not with great ideas. Furthermore, there are billions of ideas in this
world – the difference is made by the people who make those ideas reality. And remember,
there is no correlation between HQ and business success so far. The secret of success
stays in constant checks, step ups with the worldwide evolution, a very strong
structure, creative minds, content creators.

Been lucky enough to take part in several events organized
by Biz Magazine, an international Business Magazine. From there I have learned that in business
the cash flows are the company’s electrogram. I have learned that entrepreneurship skills are the engine of each civilization in development. I have learned that each startup is difficult.
That a link between universities (education), research institutes (innovation) and investors
(financial potential) is vital for our business development. Claudiu Vranceanu encourages
the organization of Research Parks or Research Festivals. Indeed this is a very fruitful event. I remember participating in the first Science Festival in my life which was in Cheltenham, the UK. The event was better than anything I could attend to in terms of fresh news about
business, technology and science.
But if you have a startup, then you want to further check out the
Angles List, The Business Hub, the Accelerators List. You can find the money and the connections for your business there.

Then, you have to understand that innovation is the key to
any business. Well, innovation is not necessarily
an invention (something brand new). Innovation happens when we experiment. When
we experiment, we do allow ourselves to be wrong. Innovation is even when we
fail. If we fail but we learn from it, then this is not a fail. If you fail and
you learn from it, then transformation is happening and then innovation is occurring. Innovation
comes from motivation + movement +will +learning +benefiting from it.
Nowadays, people do not look necessary for goods, but for experiences.
Apparently, the experiences are more
important than the goods. Furthermore, the future means many things and differ from
person to person. Without present, the future does not exist and in our society, everything we have today and tomorrow was built yesterday. The nowadays
technology is an industry build on fast today-tomorrow steps, steps prepared yesterday. Somehow we live the present in the past, hahaha!
In business, the successful strategy is based on cooperation and
not on competition. The virtual reality is useful only if we can control it and
measure it. The Smart Home, for example, is a great tool only if we still have our privacy
in life. If the technology helps humanity to make their life easier, positive, better and sustainable,
then good. The SOCIAL entrepreneurship is the power now in business. An example of this is Mobile School, the Online School for children who can not
benefit from education; then Better Help, an app for online counselling and getting advice in case of fear, depression,
love issues, sadness; Mpedigree, an app which can confirm if the medicine you buy is
original; Code for all, an international network of cooperation and help in
terms of social cohesion, improving the link between the governments and its
citizens; Shop Shoko, an online way to buy traditional hand-made jewels from
Africa (the artisans earn 5 times more since this app is available); Bridge forBillions, an online incubator that connects startup entrepreneurs to growth opportunities;
Discovering Hands - they have observed that blind people can discover breast cancer in very early stages, better than no other machine;

Entrepreneurship is a thing only for some people. It’s about
to take your destiny in your hands and grab the destiny of 10, 20 people as
well, and with those people who believe in your idea start working on your project. The
entrepreneurship is a state of mind too. You have to have the strength, the courage,
the capability of risk and reinvention. To be an entrepreneur means to be able
to overcome your limits. The entrepreneurship is a controlled environment, chosen
by the entrepreneur because he wants to learn, he wants to see how far can he
go and he wants to make a beautiful
adventure from his ideas (Antonio Eram).
The entrepreneurial skills are coming along with personality, education and a good environment to
develop yourself and your business. It is about the potential to have the courage to change
the game and to be conscious that any disruption comes with a price.
I have met many entrepreneurs who started from zero, who had big dreams and who made it happen. So....If you have genuine intentions, if you are honest with yourself and with the others, if you learn every day and work wisely, then the only way is to reach success.
On the other side....
I wonder what’s more difficult: to be an employee and face the employment inconveniences (searching for jobs, working for too many hours - sometimes without being paid, having a too little time for yourself, hoping for more money, trying to avoid the conflicts with colleagues or bosses, being understandable and even submissive at work, and many, many more)…

Or to be an employer and face the stress of making the money to pay the employees on time, and when can't do, to search for the courage, strength and openness to say it and face the stress of making other people suffer because you are not able to pay them off; to stay at the office nearly 24 from 24 just to make your business work, to position yourself every day outside your comfort zone and work hard especially because you believe in your project and you rule by example; to find solutions every day, to negotiate your employees’ inconveniences, to be your best when coordinating a team, YOUR team, the team you want to be the best.

Looks like it is tough to be either an employee either an employer. What is important to know is the fact that you can’t be both. The skills that an employee has, are totally different than the skills that an employer has.
To be an entrepreneur, to strive to make your idea work, to be able to find jobs for and pay off your people is a big thing.
Well done you!
