I never really understood what entrepreneurship was but after this learning module, i have a bigger grasp of what it is. Entrepreneurship is, as defined by Dan O'Neil, is the spirit of creative risk taking. Basically, in order to be a successful entrepreneurship, one needs to learn to take risks. Some of the characteristics that they have are creativity, innovation, knowledge, skill and passion. Passion is the most important because without it, nothing gets done. They see problems as opportunities to find solutions. I always thought that entrepreneurship was only used in the business world but it turns out that that is not the case at all. All successful entrepreneurs came from different backgrounds and ethnicity's.
Everything involves taking risks. Some things more than others but whether we gain from that risk or not, we won't be able to say "I wish I would have taken that risk". As I mentioned earlier, entrepreneurship is not limited to the business world. It can be used in athletics, cosmetics or whatever it is that intrigues a person. What I found most interesting about this topic is that entrepreneurs don't stay away from problems, they seek them so that they can find a new solution. That is a good way to view all the problems in this world.
Like many other things that we want to accomplish, it can't be done without passion. Passion is that extra boost that many of us need in order to go that extra step. As long as we have that desire to finish what we start, nothing can stop us.

Before this module, I also thought that entrepreneurship was all about business. Passion is the key to being a successful entrepreneur. If people don’t love what they do, then they are more likely to quit as soon as a problem arises.
Like you, before this learning module I had no idea what an entrepreneur was. I also learned that taking risks and obtaining any opportunity is key to become successful.
Like you stated before, I had no clue what entrepreneurship actually was. I always though that it was about business and money; but after the module I understood what it was and learned that passion is the main key for us to be successful like you stated.
I also thought that entrepreneurship had everything to do with business, but now I associate it with anyone having a dream that they would like to make a reality. I really like what you said about passion. The reason I come to school everyday is because I am passionate about my major, I also think it's a huge must-have when going after your dreams.
