You've probably heard the word "Entrepreneur" thrown around a lot in business. It conjures images of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, or Oprah Winfrey. But, it goes way beyond that. In this episode of Crash Course Business: Entrepreneurship, Anna helps us to figure out who Entrepreneurs are, and what that title actually means.

Drug lords are hardcore entrepreneurs. Change my mind.

@ArawnOfAnnwn 5 лет назад

@Mario Ramirez Presumably, yes. But more pertinently we're talking about people who've started successful businesses, even if those businesses cause death and destruction and on the whole are bad for society. And the question is if they're entrepreneurs, not if they're forces for good.

@toddboothbee1361 5 лет назад

@@ArawnOfAnnwn IN the Harvard MBA program, some case studies are of drug lords and small time independent drug dealers, not just the narratives of transportation companies, or tech startups. There can be some pretty amazing innovations in the underworld.

@toluca56 5 лет назад

Depends on the criteria you decide on for the definition. Most entrepreneurs don't have to rely on violence to establish market share, so if you factor that in, drug lords are fragile. Fragile meaning that they don't necessarily out-compete rival "firms" by being more innovative or supplying better quality or less expensive products to buyers, and their hold on market share is much less secure. They seek to become monopolies, by any means necessary, and leave a trail of bodies in their wake. But I guess traditional monopolies typically rely on the state to enforce their monopolies though laws, and the state is ultimately backed by violence of its own. So you could make a case for cartels being "entrepreneurial." Although the risks are much higher, the drug lord may not have an opportunity to learn from mistakes to improve revenues and profits, and the life expectancy of the "CEO" is much lower; they have to forever watch their backs. ;)

@itsViirtueYEAH 4 года назад

I feel that list of reasons entrepreneurs start company's on such a deep level. I don't do well in interviews and you can't put "self-taught *insert skill*" on a resume. It's so frustrating knowing your worth but not being able to express it and ultimately getting sold short. It's definitely been a big motivator for getting myself started in my business

@dreamscometruenetwork3009 4 года назад

@angelthefloridian7350 Год назад

I regret not joining entrepreneurship while in Highschool. Learning this type of skill is vital when you want money to work for you rather than YOU working for money. I'm just thankful that there is RU-vid to watch videos that can help me develop ways to start a business.

Otherwise, awesome Crash Course subject -- looking forward to what will be covered throughout the course!

@IVN What about starting a mediocre business to fund a non-profit you're passionate about? 🤔... I think the first type of person should just be celebrities, who consider themselves a company, because other companies "partner" with them in exchange for their endorsement. And also celebrities who get solicited by the real brains behind a product, to buy their formula, and "start their own company", when they're really just slapping their name on something someone else innovated.

Success as an entrepreneur requires a combination of several key factors, including: 1 Strong vision and determination: Successful entrepreneurs have a clear vision of what they want to achieve and are committed to making it happen. 2 Problem-solving skills: Entrepreneurs need to identify problems and develop innovative solutions to meet the needs of their customers. 3 Adaptability: The ability to pivot and adapt quickly to changes in the market is crucial for entrepreneurs. 4 Financial management: Entrepreneurs need to be able to manage their finances effectively, including budgeting, forecasting, and securing funding. 5 Networking: Building strong relationships with partners, suppliers, and customers is essential for success. 6 Sales and marketing skills: Entrepreneurs need to be able to effectively promote and sell their products or services to generate revenue. 7 Strong leadership: Successful entrepreneurs are able to inspire and motivate their team to achieve their goals. 8 Continuous learning: Entrepreneurs should be open to learning new skills and knowledge to stay ahead in the market.

@vectoredthrust5214 5 лет назад

Gotta say, had my first taste of entrepreneurship when out of the blue, I got the opportunity to vend at a weekend fan convention. The local comic book shop that was intending to run the card gaming tournament pulled out and I stepped in. Never so much as ran a lemonade stand, but when the opportunity arose I sank about £1000 into buying card gaming merch for stock, and made a profit of about £300 by weekend’s end. I’m not gonna lie, there is a high that happens as you watch your stock spreadsheet go from loss to profit, and every sale you make and every bit of cash that enters your pouch is a rush. I was ecstatic counting my earnings. I’ve vended again at another convention and it’s nice for the occasional money-maker, but it’s made me hungry to be an entrepreneur full-time at some point. My head’s now constantly spinning with ideas for businesses, listening to my friends off-handedly mention some lacking function or glaring problem gets my gears spinning. I’m prepared to work as an engineer (graduating soon) for a few years and settle my life first, but t won’t be long before I take a stab at being an entrepreneur

This may turn out to be one of the more controversial Crash Course classes. The description of the Gig Economy alone (many consider the gig economy to be an unmitigated bane on the working populace, something to be avoided altogether if possible) is going to cause flamewars galore. Even Entrepreneurship (or at least the unremitting promotion of it) is controversial in itself -- capitalism either at its finest or at its worst.

I love the skirting around the issue that this is only possible for people who are either born rich, or uncommonly lucky (which isn't a viable strategy). "Rags to riches" tales are nothing more than propoganda. They're such an exception, and they're so often brought up without mentioning the 99.9% of "rags to riches" stories which instead end with destitution. I also don't appreciate the framing of the gig economy as a positive thing. The gig economy is borderland criminal. Its an abusive, amoral business model, even if it benifits a very small proportion of workers
