Introduction to Entrepreneurship (B183)

What is important? What really matter? This a deep question. Regrettably, the answer sometimes is where we don’t hope. Small things make great things. Sometimes, we can have lost our path looking for big things, when smalls thing performs all big project. If you are not sure what is the important in your life, I counsel you to listen your heart.

This has been a week of continues learning, and I want to share the most valuables learnings of this week.

The analysis of these and other influencers could support the popular thought that sugges
