Are you an intrepreneur?

To quote from Wikipedia -

Intrapreneur - The spirit of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrepreneurship" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Entrepreneurship</a> within an existing organization. Intrapreneur is a person who focuses on innovation and creativity and who transforms a dream or an idea into a profitable venture, by operating within the organizational environment. Intrapreneurs, by definition, embody the same characteristics as the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrepreneur" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Entrepreneur</a>, conviction, passion, and drive. If the company is supportive, the Intrapreneur succeeds. When the organization is not, the Intrapreneur usually fails or leaves to start a new company. An Intrapreneur thinks like an entrepreneur seeking out opportunities, which benefit the corporation. It was a new way of thinking, in making companies more productive and profitable. Visionary employees who thought like entrepreneurs. IBM is one of the leading companies, which encourages INTRAPRENEUR.[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Wikipedia:citation Needed</a>]


A Savvy Intrapreneur takes a good idea and makes it better.[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Wikipedia:citation Needed</a>] A Savvy Intrapreneur steps out of the comfort zone of corporate security, to insure s/he creates additional income which at least matches their take home pay. An Intrapreneur works overtime helping to run someone else's business, for the company's future. A Savvy Intrapreneur runs themselves like a business putting in 1 hour a day of overtime for their own financial future.


Developing a career while maintaining position at work requires staying focused as a Savvy Intrapreneur. This takes courage.

    Positivity leads to creativity which leads to ideas which leads to profits which gives you a great attitude which leads to positivity which leads to . . .
    . . and so on! A vicious circle - but you can make it work to your advantage!
    Take action - and keep going
    Successful Intrepreneurs take action. And never give up. Edison is remembered for inventing the lightbulb - not his thousands of failed attempts.

    he he, wondering who was paying Edison's home loan while he was making those thousand attempt. 😁. My bank has increased my tenure by 18 more years and the monthly installment amount as well. I wonder how long I can hold on to this Intrapreneural urge of mine. Maybe another 4 months, and then, I am back to searching up for a regular career!!!
