Why I took an entrepreneurship course?



"I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'" - Muhammad Ali

My first time as an entrepreneur was when I was in the kinder. My father bought a package of candies, and I sell it in the kindergarten. My candies were different to other candies that the kindergarten sold, so I sold a lot of candies. This and other experiences have tough me some basic principles of become an entrepreneur.
When I knew that one of available emphasis in my business management program was entrepreneurship, I started to ponder if would be useful for my career to take this emphasis.

 I started to review the biography of some important entrepreneurs. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook didn’t take any course of entrepreneurship on Harvard, but he had as mentor Steve Jobs. And Steve Jobs has as mentor Larry Page.

The analysis of these and other influencers could support the popular thought that suggest that entrepreneurship is a natural skill, and cannot be developed or learned in a classroom. But, if we analyze it carefully, entrepreneurs received an instruction of any mentor, and without a mentor their journey would be impossible or more difficult.

Larry Page and Steve Jobs are dead, and they cannot be my mentors, but I can take advantage of available sources like the course of Introduction to Entrepreneurship at BYUI.

This course won’t make me a successful entrepreneur for the same reason that all friend of Steve Jobs are not entrepreneurs, but this course will give me some necessary tools to have a change in the way to become a successful entrepreneur.
