The Entrepreneurs Credo
Credo
Credo is Latin for, literally, “I believe,” and originally meant a particular religious belief. Now it has the far broader meaning of any system of principles that guide a person or group.
…………………………..
I do not choose to be a common man,
It is my right to be uncommon … if I can,
I seek opportunity … not security.
I do not wish to be a kept citizen.
Humbled and dulled by having the
State look after me.
I want to take the calculated risk;
To dream and to build.
To fail and to succeed.
I refuse to barter incentive for a dole;
I prefer the challenges of life
To the guaranteed existence;
The thrill of fulfilment
To the stale calm of Utopia.
I will not trade freedom for beneficence
Nor my dignity for a handout
I will never cower before any master
Nor bend to any threat.
It is my heritage to stand erect.
Proud and unafraid;
To think and act for myself,
To enjoy the benefit of my creations
And to face the world boldly and say:
This, with God’s help, I have done
All this is what it means
To be an Entrepreneur.

The question marks are to remind us that “sometimes the questions/challenges that haunt, cripple and paralyse us are so complicated and yet have simple answers/solutions”
In the words of Dr. Theodor Seuss
“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple”
