Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship, ASU defines it as the “spirit of creative risk taking. But what does that mean? Entrepreneurship simply means people who want to make money taking risk not waiting around for opportunities but instead making them. In today’s society entrepreneurs are not all for profit we have what is called for profit, no profit, and hybrid a mixture of both. Many of the richest people of America are entrepreneurs. Let us take for instance Bill Gates founder of Microsoft who is not only the richest man in America but in the whole world. Another important figure whom is an entrepreneur is Oprah Winfrey who is mostly known for her show “Oprah”. At ASU entrepreneurship is very important. ASU wants to prepare entrepreneurs or “coach” them for life as an entrepreneur. Actually, according to Dan O’Neal from the entrepreneurship program at ASU “ASU offers nearly 60 course” to help future entrepreneurs and “offers 5 different certificate programs in entrepreneurship”. In the future and the present entrepreneurs are people who impact the world the most today. If you think about it this way, they are the ones that start their own business and expand it which then causes the economy rise. They are the ones who have the money to make donations and to have non profit organizations to help a certain group of people. So if you see problems as opportunities then you have the mind of an entrepreneur and like Dan O’Neal ends his presentation “What will your mark be? How will you help the environment and the economy?”

I liked the last quote by Dan O'Neil--that was a good last thought. It's nice that you brought up the misconception most people have about entrepreneurship. They feel it is just a way to make money, when in actuality there many forms of entrepreneurship.
I liked how you put everything together
