Entrepreneurialism, the way forward..

Monday, January 12th, 2009

The Entrepreneurs’ Organization released some findings from its 2nd annual Global Economic Survey today. Highlights include:

- Nearly nine out of ten global entrepreneurs are concerned about the current economic climate

- More than half of all entrepreneurs are very concerned or concerned about obtaining funding

- Seventy percent of U.S.-based entrepreneurs are concerned or very concerned about the rising cost of providing healthcare in 2009

- Seventy percent of surveyed entrepreneurs are highly confident or confident about surviving the economic crisis

- More than 80 percent of those surveyed believe that entrepreneurs will play a significant role in economic recovery

- One in five entrepreneurs is more likely to start a business now than they were last year, and more than half are equally as likely

- Almost half of respondents anticipate an increase in revenues in 2009, and a quarter expect revenue levels to remain the same as 2008

- Globally, more than a third of entrepreneurs surveyed will increase “green” initiatives, while 45 percent will maintain their current commitment level

- Nearly 60 percent of entrepreneurs surveyed will maintain their current commitment level and nearly a quarter will increase the priority of corporate social responsibility

- Forty four percent of global respondents anticipated that the Obama administration would have a positive effect on their businesses

- U.S.-based entrepreneurs are split regarding the new administration’s impact on their business: 39 percent expect a positive impact and 40 percent expect a negative impact

“Our annual survey reveals the business perspective of some of the world’s most successful small business owners, and the outlook for this year rings with a tone of optimism in the face of economic hardship,” says Dave Galbenski, Chairman of the Global Board of Directors for the Entrepreneurs’ Organization. “Not only does this data help us provide maximum value to our members by allowing us to better customize our programs and resources to their needs, it serves as an outstanding global barometer for entrepreneurial concerns and priorities in the coming year.”

The one thing that stands out for us is the positiveness, despite the doom and gloom which is apparent at the moment. Half of entrepreneurs are equally as likely to start a business this year as there were last year. But then again, isnt this why we are entrepreneurs, we dont give up and we seize opportunities when we can. This is surely the classification of success.
