Economics of Entrepreneurship Series Module 8
Module 8: How Do I Become An Entrepreneur?
Entrepreneurs make money by creating value and serving the needs of others. Successful entrepreneurs are both wealth creators and problem solvers. In this module, students will engage in hands-on activities to practice entrepreneurship as an activity (starting a business) and entrepreneurship as a way of thinking (innovation, drive, creativity).
One of the best ways for students to learn is through practical experience. Starting a business teaches students important life skills. Anyone can start a business. You don’t have to be creative. You don’t have to have the next big idea. You don’t have to have a lot of money. You don’t have to take on a lot of risk.
In this module, you will learn more about getting started as an entrepreneur. They will learn to create a plan, set goals, and work toward achieving those goals.
