               SESSION             1   What is Entrepreneurship?



              Entrepreneurship is the process where people start new businesses or projects to turn their ideas into reality.
              It goes beyond simply being self-employed; it involves identifying opportunities in the market or society
              and taking calculated risks to capitalise on them. Entrepreneurs are innovative thinkers who harness their
              creativity and determination to bring new products, services, or solutions to the world. They are not just
              business owners, but visionaries who envision and execute ideas that can fill gaps in the market or address
              unmet societal needs.
              Entrepreneurship is about more than financial gain; it’s about making a meaningful impact. Entrepreneurs
              drive economic progress by fostering competition, innovation, and job opportunities. They are willing to
              navigate uncertainties and overcome challenges to realise their visions. In this session, we will learn more about
              entrepreneurship and enterprise.

                ENTREPRENEURSHIP

              Entrepreneurship is all about starting and managing a new business or project by bringing fresh ideas to
              meet customer needs. It begins with someone identifying an opportunity in the market where they think
              they can offer something valuable. Entrepreneurs are the ones who take the lead in turning these ideas into
              real businesses. They make plans, take risks, and work hard to establish their businesses and introduce their
              products or services to customers.
              What makes entrepreneurs special, is their creativity and readiness to face challenges. They often deal with
              issues like finding money to start their business, competing with other companies, and using their resources
              wisely. But with determination and effort, they aim not just to make money but also to have a positive impact
              on society.

              Successful entrepreneurship isn’t just about profits; it’s about finding new ways to solve problems and meet
              people’s  needs.  Entrepreneurs  help  their  communities  by  creating  jobs,  improving  what’s  available,  and
              helping the economy grow. They have a big role in shaping how businesses work and making the world a
              better place with their ideas and hard work.

              Enterprise

              An enterprise is like a project or business venture in which people start to meet a specific need in society.
              It could be a new shop selling unique products, a service that helps people in some way, or even a big
              company that makes things we use every day. Enterprises involve planning and using resources wisely to
              make sure they can achieve their goals and serve their customers well.
