Introduction: The entrepreneurial spirit in all of us

"So what's your big idea? Are you starting your own company right out of college?"

Maybe the most common question I get after explaining I'm an entrepreneurship major is what my immediate plan is. Well, to be honest with you I'm not quite sure what my plan is yet. I don't have a million dollar idea and I don't think I'm the next Bill Gates. However, as a junior in the entrepreneurship program at Saint Louis University I'm starting to get a better idea about the big picture. My curriculum includes classes like management theory, managing ideas in entrepreneurial firms, and organizational behavior. Maybe the most important thing I've learned so far is that the principles behind entrepreneurship can be used in all sorts of situations as well as most jobs. According to Dr. Hicks (2016), "All of are born with the ability to take risks, think creatively and challenge the everyday way of doing things." I decided to write this blog about different forms of entrepreneurship and how useful it can be to develop the qualities and values of an entrepreneur. I plan to post interesting articles and give readers a better understanding of the field of entrepreneurship. My goal is to provide unbiased information with my posts and attach links that provide more detailed information. Hopefully some of you can use what you read to improve your life in some way or another. Make sure to check weekly for new updates and posts!
