Simply put, entrepreneurs fix things. As an entrepreneur, you can spot a void, problem or need for a particular product or service. With a creative and innovative mindset, you have the ability to identify potential problems, challenges, assess feasibility (ask ‘will this be successful?’) as well as challenge assumptions, do market research and pursue funding. You’ll be equipped with a well-rounded and holistic view of business that you can apply in any setting and throughout your career.
