Necessity is the Mother of Invention: An Entrepreneurial Call to Arms

Written by: Vickie Jimenez

Article Overview: Calling all entrepreneurs, we have to take matters into our own hands. Credit has dried up, commerce appears to be paralyzed, but not our spirits. The vision of hope lies with the entrepreneurial spirit. I know that in crisis, there are also possibilities and solutions.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention: An Entrepreneurial Call to Arms

My dearest entrepreneurial colleagues and friends, I call upon you now to come together from around the world, to help the world in repairing our global economies. There does not seem to be credit or similar features for building a business that were prevalent just a few short years ago. As these institutions fall and become obsolete or are handed taxpayer monies to enhance executive bonuses, many people are feeling hopeless and scared, losing fundamental living standards such as homes, food and heat. These people have been your customers, your clients, have supported your businesses and have been loyal to you.

Some of your colleagues have lost entire businesses overnight that supplied jobs to hundreds upon thousands everywhere. It seems as if the industry of commerce is drying up yet, I know that where there is purpose there are also solutions that are innovative and revolutionary. Necessity has always been the mother of invention and now more than ever is a time where entrepreneurs can come together and explore other ideas, solutions and inventions that will empower progress without banks to fund aspirations or economies.

As credit dries up, your ideas and dreams need not. Your ideas are the most powerful thing the world has. When banks become obsolete in the entrepreneurial equation for starting a business, a huge empowering possibility for our future will manifest. Let us come together to breed solutions out of cooperation and collaboration. When entrepreneurs come together in this manner we challenge the very core of what is possible only to find ourselves triumphant over the darkness of the illusion that it can’t be done.

Remember our forefathers as this new revolution begins to unfold in front of us. Don’t allow what is unseen, in the moment, to sink your boat. If your boat is under water, build another one. Collaborate with each other and provide a spring board for ideas, technology, science and industry to flourish again. When we overcome the appearance of obstacles that seem to be harnessing fear and collapse we will once again make the world a better place.

If you feeling alone scared and worried, reach out to another entrepreneur. Find a group, club or mastermind team where you can find answers alliances and camaraderie. Don’t let your dreams fall by the wayside. Stand back up and brush yourself off. You are an entrepreneur and that makes you a leader of ideas and possibilities.

This is a call to arms for my entrepreneurial brothers and sisters. Let your ideas flow; share, collaborate, brainstorm and create alliances with others. As we learn to bring this economy around we make history, we make lives better and we become the leaders of the revolution. Become a Possibilitarian and build even if the odds look against you. Continue the journey and look for ways to collaborate with other entrepreneurs to provide solutions and possibilities. Remember, your idea could change the world.

Thank you
Vickie Jimenez

Re: Cash Comes from Creativity - Hi Yinka, Good post and a very Entrepreneurial approach if you like. It is true that with the every day gadgets, services and products that we use, it is easy to look at them just for what they are and not what they could be. We should always be on the look out for ideas that we can explore or existing products that we can maybe improve or re-design and that is also true with Internet Marketing. regards, Mal.

Geez, they are in school longer than he's at work each day! [/quote:5xozg8c0] Well...it is important that the kids help out! Obviously his own parents had a strict division of labor.
