“Everything revolves around the perception of opportunity. This perception is first linked to the environment and then to the available resources. The environment is multifaceted and its perception is determined by the psychological profile of the person concerned. Two different people can have radically different opinions or perceptions of the environment. One may see it as favorable, while the other perceives it as unfavorable. The environment can be broken down into three main components: institutions, competition, and the economy in general. Each of these can be a source of opportunities. Resources are also a source of opportunities, primarily because they allow one to believe that things are possible. Among the most frequently mentioned resources are financial resources and occasionally technological resources. Business development experience shows that even though these play a significant role, the most important resources are leadership, values, vision, and managerial capabilities. In the concept of leadership, the psychological foundation that induces self-confidence and the will to act is also included. The perception of an opportunity implies an understanding of the environment, the availability of appropriate managerial skills, and genuine self-confidence. Developing entrepreneurship requires work on these three aspects.”
