As said in COMM101, anyone with a great start up idea can become a successful entrepreneur. However, due to the numerous complications that are directly related to the start of a business, an entrepreneur should also take into consideration various strategies to overcome these issues in the future. Eugene Dong, the co-founder and CTO of Procurify, is an excellent example of a young entrepreneur from Vancouver who carried out his dream, and has become very successful.
In 2011, Dong and his colleagues realized the annoyance of using an “outdated paper process to make reports, requisitions, approvals, and purchase orders”; therefore, they saw the potential in starting an online management program that would allow businessmen to control their company’s spending online.
The success of the business has been a result of their willingness to pursue their dreams, even though it involved a lot of risks. Not only did they see how their business would assist people’s needs at the time, but they also considered how the company would assist people in the future.
Given Dong’s situation, it is apparent that anyone can become an entrepreneur, as long as they have a dream and are willing to carry out their plan.
