Top 3 Reasons Foreign Born People Own Businesses

1) Opportunity - People born in other countries realize the scope of the opportunities that exist in this country and no other. Their experience in their own land was typically one in which no amount of effort would accelerate them beyond the standard of living they were born into. To escape this, they do anything and everything to get to the United States. Once here, they understand that hard work and discipline will bring forth their dreams of a better life.

Those born in this country take for granted the opportunities that are out there. Life, television, advertising, and other factors erode our ideas about what this country truly represents. We tend to live a life of defeatism. Our minds tell us that our dreams will not come true and our ideas will never work. This thinking leads us to dead end jobs that have zero ability to fulfill our pioneering dreams.

2) Discipline - This may be the single largest obstacle to owning and operating any business. Those from other countries can have this trait built in. They know what it is like to have nothing. When they see our society, the meager means by our standards that they live by is far better than their prior situation. The key is they will do with out until they have the resources to live their dream.

Those of us in this country grow up with influences that say quite the contrary. Advertising, media, and movies have but one goal in mind: To convince you happiness is just a possession away. The moment we have money, something inward says go get it now. We must have the best car, the largest home, and the entertainment systems of our dreams all before we turn 21. We never save, we always need, and this robs us of the discipline it takes to save for a future far greater than we could imagine.

3) Risk - If you come to this country with very little money and the clothes on your back, what is there to lose? Foreign born entrepreneurs will take risks that have high reward factors. It is very much a worthwhile one. Their goal was to have a better life. Nothing will prevent them from achieving it. If they fail, they will simply try again. They know what having nothing is, and do not fear being back there again.

Our society seems to frown at risk taking. Tell a friend about a goal that has risk and for some reason, their first response will highlight all the reasons you should not. Something draws us to value safety and security over achieving our pursuits. We will work in a job that gives us no satisfaction or promise for a better future simply because we feel it is secure. In reality, how secure is it? We live in an age of corporate downsizing and out-sourcing. With the whim of the boardroom, your security can fly out the window.

The Challenge - Over the last 3 years, I have spent much of my time with entrepreneurs of all walks of life. Their ideas, discipline, and risk taking capacity have been inspiring. They have challenged me to put my money where my mouth is and begin to explore the world of ideas and letting them fulfill my career goals. I now challenge you to break the culture of security and step into a life that is truly rewarding.
