Enterprising people & Entrepreneurs

Learning outcomes:

Students will be able to:

• Describe an enterprising person
• Define an entrepreneur
• Describe the difference between an enterprising person & an entrepreneur
• Recognise the qualities of enterprising people
• Describe innovation and recognise its importance in a successful business

In this module you will be learning about some entrepreneurs who are big thinkers. 

These people are all enterprising – that is they are bold and use their initiative to undertake new projects. Not only do they seize opportunities whatever the situation, they create opportunities for people to achieve more than might at first be thought possible.

Entrepreneurs are enterprising people who take risks, usually financial risks, to be able to put their big thinking into action. To fulfil our potential in this world, we all need to be enterprising. Some of us will also be entrepreneurs and create new businesses and social enterprises.

To think big you need to think without limitation, and put your fears to one side. Enjoy the journey!
