You may wonder why I want to &#8216;Take the L&#8217;s.&#8217; Let&#8217;s get into it. Shall we?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being an entrepreneur is one of the easier things to do. Entrepreneurs are springing up all over the world, trying new endeavours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Entrepreneurs are many. Longtrepreneurs are few.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone can start an idea or a business. What matters is someone sticking to it for the long term to leave an impact on communities and the world significantly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything around us is evolving. However, entrepreneurship as a mindset has yet to develop as much as it should have.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might find it disdainful, but entrepreneurs are movers and shakers of our world; wrong. The&nbsp;<strong>Longtrepreneurs<\/strong>&nbsp;make all the difference. Thomas Edison famously said, &#8220;It&#8217;s 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.&#8221; He was not wrong. He, like many entrepreneurs, started his endeavours to invent the light bulb; doing it a thousand times led him to create the light bulb in his 1,001st attempt finally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To this tune, Edison is a Longtrepreneur and not just an entrepreneur who started an idea or a business. He persisted over the long term, making him a well-known inventor and an astute businessman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ethos behind Longtrepreneur is to tout long-term thinking in one&#8217;s personal and professional life. In business life, entrepreneurs should not think of IPOs as the end of life for a company, but they should consider passing the baton to others to run their&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;commercial baby&#8217;<\/strong>&nbsp;with new zest and ideas to propel it to newer heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Longtrepreneur is an&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;anti-supreme&#8217;<\/strong>&nbsp;brand which shuns short-term thinking and impulse buying behaviour. Longtrepreneur believes that consumers should live their life with a 70-90 year horizon, doing things for the long-term ranging from shopping and studying to working.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s end on this note: Live in the world as if you will live forever; prepare for your passing away as if you will die at any moment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photo by Vlad Tchompalov on Unsplash<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I would take &#8216;L&#8217; over the &#8216;E&#8217; any day.
