Who Even Is An Entrepreneur?: Crash Course Business - Entrepreneurship #1
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 06. 2024
- You've probably heard the word "Entrepreneur" thrown around a lot in business. It conjures images of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, or Oprah Winfrey. But, it goes way beyond that. In this episode of Crash Course Business: Entrepreneurship, Anna helps us to figure out who Entrepreneurs are, and what that title actually means.

Drug lords are hardcore entrepreneurs. Change my mind.
Lol
@Mario Ramirez Presumably, yes. But more pertinently we're talking about people who've started successful businesses, even if those businesses cause death and destruction and on the whole are bad for society. And the question is if they're entrepreneurs, not if they're forces for good.
@@ArawnOfAnnwn IN the Harvard MBA program, some case studies are of drug lords and small time independent drug dealers, not just the narratives of transportation companies, or tech startups. There can be some pretty amazing innovations in the underworld.
@Mario Ramirez "Are we talking about the horrible people who kill thousands of people every year" you mean gun manufacturers? Or the military?
Depends on the criteria you decide on for the definition. Most entrepreneurs don't have to rely on violence to establish market share, so if you factor that in, drug lords are fragile. Fragile meaning that they don't necessarily out-compete rival "firms" by being more innovative or supplying better quality or less expensive products to buyers, and their hold on market share is much less secure. They seek to become monopolies, by any means necessary, and leave a trail of bodies in their wake. But I guess traditional monopolies typically rely on the state to enforce their monopolies though laws, and the state is ultimately backed by violence of its own. So you could make a case for cartels being "entrepreneurial." Although the risks are much higher, the drug lord may not have an opportunity to learn from mistakes to improve revenues and profits, and the life expectancy of the "CEO" is much lower; they have to forever watch their backs. ;)
Might be a weird compliment, but the enunciation is on POINT! Love it!
yesss it is!
Agree. Her voice seems familiar, she sounds like one of the narrators on Blinkist.
Anna Akana is a great orator. I wish I sounded like a male version of her.
@@ccc3 She has her own youtube channel and she makes great content. Anna Akana. She's actually an actress lol
I feel that list of reasons entrepreneurs start company's on such a deep level. I don't do well in interviews and you can't put "self-taught *insert skill*" on a resume. It's so frustrating knowing your worth but not being able to express it and ultimately getting sold short. It's definitely been a big motivator for getting myself started in my business
Some people think entrepreneurs just make bad employees.
Being your own boss as an entrepreneur is one of the most misapplied words. When you are the entrepreneur everyone becomes your boss. Your clients, employees, financial backers, etc. will all be telling you what to do.
I know it's not that bad though, you do have power to filter what your customer want and make choices from there, being totally free would leave me aimless or with a general direction, having to work around those restraints is what help you improve, I do wish though I could delegate better handling everything is a hassle
What do you think a boss is? Someone with supreme power?
A boss in a corporate company also has to deal with those things.
Raj Beekie agreed!!
Exactly, we're all working for someone at the end of the day and that's just how the world works
On spot video! Grit + Idea + firm mindset = Entrepreneur foundation.
You forgot starting capital!
I regret not joining entrepreneurship while in Highschool. Learning this type of skill is vital when you want money to work for you rather than YOU working for money. I'm just thankful that there is CZcams to watch videos that can help me develop ways to start a business.
SOO much more to being an entrepreneur. Most people aren't prepared for it
"Really, anyone can be an entrepreneur, given an idea and the right tools to develop it." Off the bat, love this line, basically sums it up the topic perfectly. Doesn't matter who you are, anyone can build a business, it just takes one good idea.
Curious Thought not true! You need capital investment to make your idea reality. This makes you dependant on banks, big buisness or your parents wealth. Not everyone can become an entrepreneur.
Feels weird to hear entrepreneurial terms so often without being pushed to buy some scheme. :)
Good job. Looking forward to the next episodes.
Good point Ulmo! 😃👍
I love how this came literally two days after I decided to start my own business. Hope this'll help.
Perfect timing. Good luck.
Hope it goes well so far
@@nanpotrer4709 Has been thus far.
Inco Gnito what kind of business have you started?
What do you do?
The term lost a lot of meaning when you had every reality TV personality calling themselves "entrepreneurs."
Yes so true.
@IVN What about starting a mediocre business to fund a non-profit you're passionate about? 🤔... I think the first type of person should just be celebrities, who consider themselves a company, because other companies "partner" with them in exchange for their endorsement. And also celebrities who get solicited by the real brains behind a product, to buy their formula, and "start their own company", when they're really just slapping their name on something someone else innovated.
The are by defintion entrepreneurs though... They're building a brand. The brand just happens to be themselves.
@IVN Ironically, your response was childish, as well as weird, considering the fact that I didn't say anything disrespectful to you.
Anna's presentation is great; clear, enthusiastic, engaging.
And props for such a cat-friendly background too. I'm sure a cat would love knocking that mug off the table, eating the plant, and tearing that lamp to shreds. :D
haha yes that was great.
This is such a high quality video I feel sorry watching it for free! Keep up the AMAZING work :)
There needs to be a clear line between entrepreneur and "Karen, stop shoving your MLM oils on my face"
This is a really well thought out explanation and the speaker did a great job of delivering the material in an upbeat and natural way. I'm excited too see more content of this topic!
thanks to this video i finally decided to dive in my entrepreneurship dream and actually work toward my own business.
i'm finally opening a brothel!
Great episode! Anna did a great job explaining the concept of entrepreneurship and who entrepreneurs are. I especially liked her point that entrepreneurs are not just people who start businesses, but also people who are innovative and think outside the box.
Anna Akana is such a good cast for this series!! I'm so glad she's the host :D Good job!
Readed this before her intro. I thought I was going crazy, very high profile. They should use her gear tho 😂😂😂
Her name is cool
Can you explain why you think that?
I mean sure but she's very bland here
does she do p0rn?
I watch crash course every day. Today i choose to start a new playlist and thier is Anna. Youre the best been following you for years.
One small piece of feedback: When Anna started talking about Congress in her example, I was confused at first because I thought she was talking about the political body. It would've been better if she had said "Congress the cat", or even better, if she had mentioned beforehand that the examples will feature her cats. Otherwise, awesome Crash Course subject -- looking forward to what will be covered throughout the course!
I was wondering if I was the only one lol. I enjoyed this episode but yeah the congress thing confused the hell outta me haha
I thought "Congress is coming together to push out a cat board? how have times changed"
Congress is a cat name.... that make way more sense now
There was immediately picture of the cat when she said “Congress” so I don’t see a reason to have changed the script.
I think it's the name of her cat, a sort of easter egg for the viewers of her stuff.
The successful entrepreneurs kind of make the entrepreneurial lifestyle seem so glamorous when it's actually really difficult for long periods of time.
Yes, it's a hard thing to do, it's only really for people who value freedom much more than anything money could buy. If you want to just live a comfortable life, get a 9-5
@IVN yes celebrities like bill gates are dumb. And also elon musk he is a celebrity.
@KushLaw no. You might luck out and get super rich, but most of the time entrepreneurship makes things harder. But some people prefer the freedom of it which makes it worth it.
I would bet that the really really successful entrepreneurs are unknown to public because they do not care about social media but rather about their own business unless their business is built on social media of course
Love how you define what an entrepreneur is and isn’t. Fab video!
I'm so happy that there's a crash course on entrepreneurship! My thinking of entrepreneurship is right on! Thank you so much for this video! Keep it up!
KinkyCurlyCoily Sistas That’s great to know! What are you planning to do?
@@vanessainsan I plan on creating an online store and then transition into a physical store in which later will multiply. Also, in that time I plan on making my own product. But first, I have to make money in order to do that so I'll be working online and offline. I am in my first year of college right now so this will be the time that I'll have to be very flexible.
1:12
“Trailblazing!”
“Innovative!”
“Problem Solving!”
“Passionate!”
“On and On!”
Clicking on this vid and seeing anna as a host was such a good surprise
Omg same. I was like, is that Anna? She's definitely Anna. But I'm gonna go check anyways lol
+
I saw her preview video on this channel a little while ago, yet I was surprised anyway!
a surprise but a welcome one
11:50 "Thanks for hiring us, Hank!" :)
And thanks for producing these fantastic, informative videos!
Thank you! This is so good, and so much deeper than I could have hoped for. Here’s to building empowering businesses. woop woop!
Forget Elon, the Mongols will take us to space. They're the exception
Wow, did you change your profile pic recently?
Are you copying Justin Y, yesterday I saw in a crowder video
@Disappointed , your username haven't failed.
Because of Mongols, Europeans sealed to the America...
In the words of Bigweld:
“See a need, fill the need.”
I’m an entrepreneur, I invented hamburgers
Did you mean "hamberders"?
Actually a good one good joke a solid 8.5/10, thank you supreme leader.
Don’t you tell the people in your country that you invented the world?
Thanks Kim Jong-un, very cool.
Yes supreme leader
My biggest issue in life always was confidence, but just learning and doing everything i can has helped a lot over these last couple years with all my failing hard
Friggin' LOVE this video. YES YES YES! So many invaluable representations in one video. Thank you
I'm in a bit of a slump in my business...so this is helpful. Thank you
" You may have stopped believing in unicorns but they have never stopped believing in you " * Im not crying *
10:01 1,2,3,4,5 all true :)
Also, the word 'Lean' can be thought as 'No waste'
A lean mindset allows to fail safely which basically means to learn faster.
Great video thanks a lot!
I have more respect for the entrepreneur that has a rags-to-riches story/normal beginnings.
This was interesting! Looking forward to seeing more!
Best delivery on this channel since the Green Bros. Great job, Anna.
Such informative and relevant information on Entrepreneurship, thank you for this.
Anna ,Hank,Crash course. this is amazing. I can hardly wait. i loved this!
Anna Akana! Yayyyyy! I want her to do a series on self-reflection as well😚
Knowing Anna I knew she’ll use cats as examples.
I felt sorry for Beetle
Success as an entrepreneur requires a combination of several key factors, including:
1 Strong vision and determination: Successful entrepreneurs have a clear vision of what they want to achieve and are committed to making it happen.
2 Problem-solving skills: Entrepreneurs need to identify problems and develop innovative solutions to meet the needs of their customers.
3 Adaptability: The ability to pivot and adapt quickly to changes in the market is crucial for entrepreneurs.
4 Financial management: Entrepreneurs need to be able to manage their finances effectively, including budgeting, forecasting, and securing funding.
5 Networking: Building strong relationships with partners, suppliers, and customers is essential for success.
6 Sales and marketing skills: Entrepreneurs need to be able to effectively promote and sell their products or services to generate revenue.
7 Strong leadership: Successful entrepreneurs are able to inspire and motivate their team to achieve their goals.
8 Continuous learning: Entrepreneurs should be open to learning new skills and knowledge to stay ahead in the market.
I totally like these kind of videos because i can learn english and some thoughts about some topics. Thanks @crashcourse

This is very solid. Enjoyed the presentation
Anna is such an engaging and energetic host!
Gladly I'll wait for the next episode !! This is a topic that I love and this series will be quite useful to me because I want to start my own business before being 30 besides I'm happy to learn with this new host, a gorgeous and intelligent woman as Anna Akana, that's why this is one of my favorite youtube channels.
You'll have to pay for the next episodes.
joseafalvel Great for you! What kind of business are you starting?
animations are catchy and helped me to understand enterpreneurship better ... thank you :)
This was an eye opening presentation on entrepreneurs. I hope to hear more informative pieces like this to further my understanding of the topic. I may just download a textbook or sign up for a free course.
So glad they made a series‼️
I know it's good to see.
Anna! I had no idea you were hosting this series. How did i not find this sooner?
i loved this lesson i'm going to follow this! And YES unicorns!
This was such an awesome video!
9:46-9:55 Idk why but that made me feel better
Wow my most awaited series
Direct and Simple explanation. Thanks a lot. 💕💗😘
Great voice, great presence. Oh and, great content😁
Great video!
wow her speaking is incredible. nice job!
hi...i found your video very helpful...i think that the entrepreneur are a very important community and they are growing
Great content! thank you!
Gotta say, had my first taste of entrepreneurship when out of the blue, I got the opportunity to vend at a weekend fan convention. The local comic book shop that was intending to run the card gaming tournament pulled out and I stepped in. Never so much as ran a lemonade stand, but when the opportunity arose I sank about £1000 into buying card gaming merch for stock, and made a profit of about £300 by weekend’s end.
I’m not gonna lie, there is a high that happens as you watch your stock spreadsheet go from loss to profit, and every sale you make and every bit of cash that enters your pouch is a rush. I was ecstatic counting my earnings. I’ve vended again at another convention and it’s nice for the occasional money-maker, but it’s made me hungry to be an entrepreneur full-time at some point. My head’s now constantly spinning with ideas for businesses, listening to my friends off-handedly mention some lacking function or glaring problem gets my gears spinning.
I’m prepared to work as an engineer (graduating soon) for a few years and settle my life first, but t won’t be long before I take a stab at being an entrepreneur
amazing content!!
Great video. Love it.
i was like oh my god why am i in love with this woman. Why do i feel like i know her on a spiritual level. this is weeeeeeiiiiirrrd then she said her name and i'm like YES Anna oh how i've missed you! I love you Annna!!!!!!!
Definitely Agree with the fact that freedom is a major part of entrepreneurship.
Thanks Crash Course for A course on entrepreneur
This video genuinely made me smile
Great video!
I think you should also put in an example about how being in a MLM DOES NOT make you an entrepreneur since that term is so overused by the Huns. When a person is in a MLM all they're doing is supporting their upline.
Couldn't you just make this 5 years ago when I had a paper on this in high school? ;_;
I failed it
Awwww... sorry :(
- Nick J.
@@crashcourse it can't be helped now, what's gone is gone ;_;
Classic story for a real enterpreneur I hope?
Sorry to hear that!
Excellent content, I love it
Yes sir
AMAZING VIDEO!!!
the word really never matters, i can call myself a basketball player but if i cant even do a lay up im falt out lieing just to get the perception that you get when you call yourself that. Just focus on the basics, the true actions , find a valuable problem , valiadate it , sell it, market it.
Good point Mario! 😃👍
1:50, my town is never mentioned! That is some fantastic ice cream tho
Great Content. Knowledge is Power
that is amazing.
can I get the references link of the Global Entrepreneurship mentor information which was shared in this video, please?
thank you.
Direct .. simple explanation .. regards from Axinstitute
Loving! 😍 This!
How often does a new episode come out?
The animation is awesome!!
I know very well done.
GREAT VIDEO!
I can see from the comments that a lot of people see entrepreneurs and founders of tech startups to be the same. What I love is the expansion of the definition. Most entrepreneurs I know offer services and are small scale. They want to create businesses that are fair and better the world. The vision for my business shares this as well.
I've done a lot of study on this topic so I'm really looking forward to seeing what Crash Course brings to it.
😃👍
Same. That's what my business Dreams Come True Network is about. Inspiring others to achieve their hopes and dreams.
I might have to watch this series💪😎
Same.
This may turn out to be one of the more controversial Crash Course classes. The description of the Gig Economy alone (many consider the gig economy to be an unmitigated bane on the working populace, something to be avoided altogether if possible) is going to cause flamewars galore. Even Entrepreneurship (or at least the unremitting promotion of it) is controversial in itself -- capitalism either at its finest or at its worst.
Thank you crash course🍹
That one of my job occupations when I get older
I wanna do in music & movies/tv my other occupations I wanna pursue is TV Host, Producer & Director, Writer, Music executive
Here's a huge like for ya!
Lol... as a matter of fact.... I love being a Lyft driver! Meeting new people, and driving are things I really love
Thanks!
I’m an aspiring entrepreneur. I plan to start this year.
Hell yeah! Thank you.
"Entrepreneur" is basically a synonym for "endeavorer," or "doer," but just almost amalgamated into the business context in the English language.
Thank you so much
