This is part of a series on the 10 D skills an Entrepreneur should have. I got this from an entrepreneurship book back when I was in college. Yes, college was a long time ago for me - something like twelve months ago. I’ve found it very useful so I’d like to share it with the world.

Dreams

Entrepreneurs have a vision of what the future could be like for them and their businesses. And, more importantly, they have the ability to implement their dreams.

Formulas
When I was in High School, I had a pretty good formula on how to achieve what I wanted in life:

However, sometime during College, my parents asked me, “What do you want to do after college?” This question got me into thinking. A lot of things have already happened to the Philippines since I last devised my formula.

For instance, cut-throat capitalism and the consumerist orientation of society have become more pronounced in our economic society. Just think of how much effort the big Telcos in the country are expending just to get to that one peso in your pocket. Or the offering of high-speed yet sometimes erratic broadband internet connections. Such high-paced quality of life has brought about increased costs of living and job tenure insecurity which no longer fits my trusty formula.

Fragments
That’s when I started to dream about what could lie for me in the future. That’s when I started to see the countless opportunities out there waiting to be taken advantage of. That’s when I saw the potential of the SME market in the Philippines. However, before realizing such opportunities, I first needed a company that would house such business ventures for me. While having a company is not necessary to keep projects from coming in, it is a required first step if we want to start taking in seven-figure projects. This is the first fragment of my dream to be realized.

Ladies and gentlemen, the fun starts within ten days, after our registration with SEC, big projects queued and all.
