dexter and entrepreneurship

A death knell for any career ....

why would i want to write about dexter .. and what i think most entrepreneurs can learn from dexter ?

first of all entrepreneurship is overrated .....by media , people other than entrepreneurs and the community at large .....seriously no one deserves to put themselves through an uphill challenge at every stage ...its not about that at all .....a simple follow your instincts approach should work quite ok ...all depends on whether you have prepared yourself to make the most of your journey ...before this sounds boring here goes my post with dexter ...

for those of you unfamiliar with dexter ....use wiki or google ...for the others ...i m not much of a fan of the series , i never felt comfortable watching it , however the last episodes of the gellar series have got me hooked ....i wondered how a few of my friends watched dexter , what fascinated them about a series thats not really recommended for everyone ....but i guess everyone has a takeaway from it ....mine is limited to getting this blogpost done .

i couldn't help but notice his dexterity ....but that's not what this post is about :-)

dexter has an urge , is excited by .......thats foremost in entrepreneurship  ---no excitement means no action means no results

dexter constantly learns , questions , challenges himself , searches for solutions ....

dexter must follow his instincts ...when all else fails

dexter aims for better victims ....he is challenged by better opponents who get the best out of him .

dexter knows himself well ....his journey is his education .

dexter put his urge to better use - had to be helped by a mentor

dexter manages to lead a normal life inspite of his private focused odd mission.

dexter has a strong willpower ,which even his toughest opponents can't match

dexter pays attention to detail and picks up clues which even the best in his profession could not.

dexter surrounds himself with resources that match his mission...a serial killer working in a homicide department is as good as it gets ...

dexter knows his kind , he tries to assess their skills , their patterns ,their reasons and knows learns how to be better at the game.

dexter has a sole mission which changes over time fitting in changing priorities - thats reality .


and last but the best of all ....he's open to being wrong ....he constantly questions if he is wrong in assessing a situation ....it helps him correct his course and make his mission a success .....that unfortunately is a skill most entrepreneurs should still learn from dexi-- and now that i ve given him a fond pet name ..ill stop here .
