Entrepreneurship is…

According to St. Louis University, approximately 224 universities and colleges now offer an entrepreneurship major worldwide. At the Dingman Center, we discover, equip, connect and celebrate entrepreneurs through our various programs and initiatives. But, what do we mean when we use the word “entrepreneurship”? Does it mean starting a business? Developing technology? Innovating in the workplace? Last week, I asked our community to give us their take on entrepreneurship by finishing the sentence “Entrepreneurship is…”

Here are some of the responses I saw on the Dingman Center’s Faecbook page:

” Entrepreneurship is inborn, just find it in yourself!” – Reha Gupta

“Entrepreneurship is wild and a rollercoaster” – Danial Dadkhoo

“Entrepreneurship is creating happy and healthy places where humans can work and play together on a shared goal” – Miriam Lemus

“Entre (many), prenew (idea + infancy), ur ship (your personal journey). All together, entrepreneurship is utilizing your skills to turn many new ideas into reality.  Entrepreneurship is a journey that has no sail, but constant wind.” – Chris Lane

“Entrepreneurship is extreme focus and the opportunity to help change the world and give others jobs and opportunities.” – Danny Goldberg.

I asked our in-house entrepreneurship expert Elana Fine (@elanafine) who said “entrepreneurship is the path from uncertainty to certainty.” This is exactly what we teach the student entrepreneurs that spend sleepless nights in our bullpen. Start with an idea (uncertainty). Test the idea, do market research, get customer feedback, and maybe fail and start all over again. Once you’re convinced you have something worth pursuing (certainty), take the leap and DO IT! That journey is what we call entrepreneurship. What does entrepreneurship mean to you? Leave a comment and let us know.

    Apart from basic reading ability, skills in mathematics (addition,
    subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions and percentages) are essential for this program.

    After all, a person’s car is a major part of his or her
    livelihood – it’s how they get to work, pick their kids up, buy groceries, and enjoy their freedom.
    This will require fixing the hood of the car all the way to the engine.

  7. Hi there to all, how is the whole thing, I think every one is getting more from
    this web site, and your views are good designed for new people.

  8. In the past some real estate investors who
    were seeking hard money would often have had a recent bankruptcy or had received a Notice
    of Default and were still able to acquire the necessary financing.

    Western Sky Financial tell you up front “yes the money is expensive”
    and they are not kidding about that. Most of things required of a real estate investors are to make a
    good level of research over the salable properties, and then come up with
    a good proposal that is beneficial for both parties.

  9. To learn more about how the law of attraction and money work together, read on. Think about how much God
    loves you or how the universe provides for you or the wonders and marvels of nature.
    ” It is all life, and it is all a part of your growth.

  15. Great blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but
    I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform
    like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options
    out there that I’m completely confused .. Any suggestions?

    Bless you!
