As we start learning about Entrepreneurial concepts, we are going to research Entrepreneurs that you admire. While you are researching, think about the risk and the reward in these peoples lives. What were the risks of creating their product or starting their business? What were the obstacles professionally and personally? What were the rewards - to themselves and to society?
Think about some Entrepreneurs that you respect. Pick one and start researching! If you can't decide on an Entrepreneur to research, take some time and think about interesting products/services/companies that you know of. Find the products/services/companies owners and creators then research them for this assignment. Your Entrepreneur does not have to be a modern day business person. You can pick any Entrepreneur through out history.
During class today please type an one-page summarization of your research, using a Google Doc or Microsoft Word document. You do not have to cite your resources. Below is what your work should include:
1.) Biographical Information - interesting facts about your Entrepreneurs life
2.) What were the risks - types of obstacles that they encountered professionally and personally
3.) What were the rewards - how is society better because of their ideas? What are their personal rewards?
