Ways to Become an Intrapreneur and Impact Your Current Job

[Jasz]

Becoming an intrapreneur is a lot like becoming an entrepreneur. You need to be able to see opportunities and capitalize on them, even if they're not obvious. You need to be willing to take risks, even if that means failing.
Here are ways to Start:

- Look for opportunities within your company that match your interests, skills, and expertise. If you're interested in marketing and have an idea for a new product, try pitching it to your boss. If you're interested in product development and have an idea for a new feature, try pitching it to your boss. If you're interested in finance and have an idea for a new revenue stream that could help the company grow, try pitching it to your boss! Pitching ideas is always scary but it gets easier with practice! And the more you pitch things, the better at thinking up good ideas you'll get too.

- Don't be afraid of failure. It's going to happen sometimes and when it does, pick yourself up and keep going. You'll learn more from failure than success anyway (since it forces you to reflect on what went wrong). The more failures you fail through without giving up, the more success you win with your experience.

In order to become an intrapreneur, you must be able to think like an entrepreneur. Here are a few ways you can do that:
1. Think about your own needs and wants first. This is the most important thing you can do in order to become an intrapreneur. If you're not looking out for yourself, how will anyone else? Think about your own interests and goals, and look for opportunities that allow you to achieve them while also helping your company grow.

2. Don't take no for an answer! Just because someone says they don't want something doesn't mean they won't end up wanting it later on down the line especially if they see how well it works for other people who have tried it before them (which means YOU!). Don't let anyone stop you from getting what you want because they think they know better than everyone else combined. They don't.
3. Be willing to take risks; this means sometimes failing or making mistakes along the way but learning from them so we can hopefully make better decisions going forward from there onwards into our future career path as an intrapreneur.

All these are good points but another important point is to know your limits. Always know when to stop, yes it's good you are consistent, not taking no for an answer so you keep shipping your ideas in, trying to get everyone into buying it, there are certain cases your consistency might be seen as annoying and irritating, and you simply trying to force others into buying your ideas. Know your limit.
