DO YOU WANT TO BE A MINIPRENEUR?

Most of us find ourselves trapped in nine to five jobs and even though the desire to do something worthwhile exists but job security and several other such considerations stop us from taking the one step that could change our future forever. And that makes me come to the topic of minipreneur. Who is a minipreneur?

Well minipreneur is our entrepreneur but with a little difference. If you find that you are not in a position to leave your job, you can start some work in your part time without actually quitting your job. And that would make you a minipreneur. Minipreneur is anyone who starts with a small idea but with a vision that could take him to the highest platform of success.

The best thing about minipreneur is that you don’t exactly need to spend all your time at it, in the beginning. After all, you must have liabilities with you and you could not risk it all. So, the best course of action would be to initiate some business in your part time and continue with your job. And the moment you feel your part time business has grown enough to occupy you full time, you can quit your job and start concentrating fully on your business.

And if you are still skeptic about what I am telling you, why not have a look at some statistics that voice the same opinion that minipreneurship is in.

1) Surveys reveal that over seven hundred and fifty thousand American Citizens are getting their primary and secondary source of income from eBay. And what is more over one and a half million persons claim that they augment their income by selling on eBay.

2) About fifty thousand people in the United Kingdom draw a large portion of their income by selling goods online.

3) There are over five million "Web Driven Entrepreneurs" that we call netpreneurs, in the United States. This accounts for about twenty five percent of all small businesses.

Now the next pertinent question must be about the cause of this boom in their numbers.

1) The revolutionary penetration of internet into our households have made ordinary people like you and me realize that money could also be made by engaging in a bit of manufacturing, enterprising, venturing, selling, trading, and auctioning. The opportunities are infinite on the net. The only thing needed is your sincere effort.

2) Being a minipreneur gives you control, independence, and charge of your destiny and that is what all of us want. Who doesn’t want to be one's own boss and earn money too?

3) And one of the most motivating factors is that minipreneurship is in. It's the new rage in the world of internet. And it doesn’t matter how small you have started. You can think big and you can achieve big. You can achieve big by starting small. Be a Minipreneur.

4) Another reason is the risk involved. Yes, the risk involved is very less as compared to slugging it out at some other job. What you must understand is that you need to provide customers with more choice and more variety. You need to find products or services that are different or that are special or that are vintage or customized or something that no big corporation could develop because of profitability concerns. One such product and you have made it!

It is true that talking about minipreneur is really simple but the real work needs to be done to achieve success. And that would involve determination, hard work and out of the box thinking. Once you do that, well you are on your way!
