According to the Entrepreneurial Experience by Richard Giannamore, POWER is the willingness to take action in the face of not wanting to, or being afraid to fail. POWER is the ability to bring your ideas and VISION into reality. honoring your word and doing what you say you are going to do is access to POWER. This may not be what most people think POWER is, and that is fine. POWER to stay in action, on purpose, no matter how you feel, what the weather looks like, or any other circumstance, no matter what. In the book, POWER is shown as a key entrepreneurial and leadership characteristic.
POWER is not something that is granted or awarded to someone. It is not a matter of force, domination or position of authority. It is a way of being that is based in an experience of you by yourself and by others, as a person who can be counted on to do what they say they are going to do, in spite of circumstances that would stop an ordinary person. It is you experiencing yourself as a person with a new level of INTEGRITY.
When you experience yourself as powerful in this way, you are able to speak with authority and confidence, even when you don’t have all the answers. When you honor your word, you get the experience of the POWER of your word to create wealth and prosperity. You can trust yourself to do what needs to be done, and so can others. This is very important in business, especially when things are not going the way we want them to go.
Often times, Entrepreneurs make decisions and define a direction to go without having all the answers. An entrepreneur takes risks and being powerful and confident is key when you serving customers or leading a team.
