Entrepreneur, according to me is someone who solves the problem. He willingly takes up challenging situations and figures out a solution for his own wellbeing and for the others. He has the necessary integrity to that. He don't think is working hard or he don't think it is its passion... He just acts out of his compassion and does what is needed...

I make Videos about running my business and sharing business insights for those who are looking to get into entrepreneurship. I hope I can inspire you!

I’m 14 right now thinking of things I can do to become successful because I know I’m not gonna be sitting at home and studying for hours just to let a high school drop out make more money than me.
Exactly, start your research now and be your own school teacher. On your own time and you will be making more than your teachers by time your out of high school. Start early!
I am 15 to right now. If you wouldn't Mind we could chat for a bit, I am starting to meet positive and smart minded people. You seem like a friend I would love to have.
Fully agreed. Whenever I see certain new products I often think "wow. that makes my life so much easier. Wish I had thought of it" and then go about my life. I don't go looking for negative things, but I am a little more keen on inconveniences especially since I work two jobs and everything is point A to B for me. One day I hope to start a culinary business that supports athletic people and body builders. ;)
+The School of Life I saw his Ted Talk on Atheism 2.0, and now I have his book. It would be an honor for me if you could tell him he has fans in countries he hasn't even heard of (like my country; Suriname)
I'd love to! We used to be a Dutch colony up until slavery got abolished in 1863, after which contracted labourers came here from predominantly India, Indonesia, Africa, China (hence our incredibly diverse culture. We are quite known for the fact that we have a Synagogue and a Mosque right next to each other to signify the respect we have for culture). We became independent from the Dutch in 1975, and have had quite a stabile economic growth thanks to mostly natural resources. We have huge amounts of untainted Amazonian rainforests (as we are neighbors to Brazil). Anything else you want to know, just ask!
The thing is, most people probably don’t understand their own unhappiness and so they reach for the wrong things. A good entrepreneur takes advantage of that and gives them the thing they want rather than the thing they need. Since they are not looking for the thing they need. A truly good entrepreneur will convince them to get the thing they need
I always feel so bad for never leaving a comment because I really appretiate your videos, but they are always so clear... I just wonder in my thoughts afterwards. Thanks for creating and sharing!
+That Guy There have been a lot of changes over the past 9 months, and when we give an update I think it will be clear why it's been so long since our last update. Long story short, we are in Seattle searching for a space.
That was a fascinating perspective on entrepreneurship! I never thought about it as understanding and addressing human unhappiness. It's a powerful idea that makes a lot of sense. I'm inspired to start looking at my own frustrations and see if there's a business opportunity hiding there. Thanks for sharing this unique insight.
Everything Started As Nothing. It's important to start. That's the biggest first step that so many people fail to do. As an entrepreneur, you need to create a plan with goals and execute the plan to achieve the goals. The plan will have bumps and you will need to adjust and evolve along the way to eventually get to your goals. The journey will have a lot of ups and downs, but if you have a good business, you push hard and constantly evolve...then major goals are reachable. Dream big. :)
I agree, cause people perspective nowadays on becoming a “successful” entrepreneur is about going after wealth doing the world are doing , create what the world already had instead of finding the solutions or the answers for the problem our world confronting right now
I have to agree. A good business identifies a pain and then offers a way to relieve that pain with a product that provides more use value than the cash value they are asking for. Good video.
Guys I have been a successful entrepreneur for nearly 20 years. My first career was in banking and then a cop. School teachers are probably worse placed to give advice about where you should point your life. Parents can be a good influence but don’t let others tell you what you are good at and what you should be doing. If you have a desire to feel the success when someone wants to pay for what you have created, offered for sale you have got to stay on the path of an entrepreneur. Reliance is the key!
I have just watched 1 minute of this video and i paused it and came here to write that this video is an absolute gem. Hope you read this Thanks and Keep it going bro cheers
I don't think tackling the source of the problem is the only possibility (or in many cases possible at all) for several issues. Many people say reducing fear without attempting to change something at the root is no valid problem solving strategy. I disagree. There are so many issues that will occupy your thoughts day and night, without being changeable in any way. I'd advise founding a sedative and painkiller exchange or bringing people together for group hug sessions for a fee or whatever. Full of valium and getting your back rubbed? The future doesn't seem so bleak now, after all, does it? xD
You cannot suffer the past or future because they do not exist. What you are suffering is your memory and your imagination. These are the tremendous tools only human being posses and sets us above in the evolutionary scale. If only, you know know to use them for your own wellbeing, such a question would not raise.
it isn't just about ideas, its more about working ideas. Most of the time ideas others had but haven't done well enough. Usually a business that is successful makes something/provides a service that is actually 1000 tiny problems (all known already and nothing new) solved together. All of the biggest successes and things we "can't live without" any more are "bad ideas" that have been worked hard enough to make a profit. Everyone has ideas, they come naturally and for free, -they are also free of value. what is of value is implementation.

+Eduardo Felipe The problem isn't so much as what 'companies' do as it is what *we* do. I think the whole point of 'society' in the first place will be to socialise us for uniform commerce (and most hopefully progress).
As a 15 year old, I am studying hard over the summer and learning as much as I can about school/academics for the next grade, and jobs on what I should do in order to get myself a lavish, good lifestyle (which has been my dream for years) I am so interested in Lawyers, Entrepreneurs, and political conservative commentators. I really believe I can fit into one or maybe even all of the 3 I am aiming for. I might be an entrepreneur, and an author. My dream is to make a business, an airline business which will be a lot of fun for me to make, and enjoy my interest. Also, I know i have to take a lot of risks to become a wealthy entrepreneur. I am praying a lot that I can become successful in high school, good grades, college, jobs, extra credit classes, and my degrees. I have a lot of hard work to look forward to, BUT, Jesus is by my side and he will help me get there, and I remember to always put GOD FIRST when I am the richest person, no matter what we always put the lord first. As a Christian, I am praying that I can succeed and hear good news, and aim to solve some problems. JESUS PLEASE HELP ME AND TAKE THE WHEEL!✝️✝️♥️♥️♥️ GOD FIRST
Ah I really needed this video at this time. I have an idea that could lead me into being an entrepreneur and I'm quite worried about the money aspect, but the main focus is that it is a way to fix something, however on a small scale.
I started my business one year ago at age 16!! My client retention rate is off the charts-They're my biggest fans!! I told everyone the internet would be big, look who's laughing now ha ha!
Mind fed. Eddie Veder's song Society talks of this never ending greed, but it seems greed is more of a never ending unhappines of being human. The result of this greed is having major effects on our world, some we can not see yet. Thanks school of life, something to contemplate for a couple days.
This video seems to slightly contradict SOL's overall message. 1:21 "Every unhappiness is really a new business waiting to be born." Maybe it's only my interpretation, but that sounds like, "you can only be happy if you buy what this new business is selling." Most entrepreneurs solve only tangible problems, problems which we already solved decades ago. Yes, we can come up with more effective ways of solving such problems, but it will not increase happiness. Despite all the new inventions we've had in the last 50+ years, the level of happiness has remained roughly the same in western countries. The only businesses that we need now are ones that attempt to solve intangible problems: relationships, education, politics, communication (understanding), and any life problems or anything that focuses on EQ (Emotional Intelligence). I think that SOL is such a business, but it can never be (not in this system) a successful business like Coca-Cola or McDonald's because these businesses are selling a quick fix and selling it cheap. There is no quick fix to relationship problems, or to education, or to politics. A pill isn't going to fix your broken marriage. There are plenty of "entrepreneurs" that can help fix such problems, but first we need the general public to understand that it will take time to fix such problems, so that then they're willing to spend money on a long-term fix. SOL's videos "What is philosophy/literature/art for?" and some other videos seem to be the opposite of this video. We need entrepreneurs that can "sell" philosophy, literature, art, and education, to the masses. Yes, we will continue to have material inventions, but even a teleportation device which will cut down your commute to and from work by 100% so you can spend more time with your family is not going to save your marriage.
I enjoy this site very much. However to state that every properly run business tries to fix things for people and strives to resolve cause of unhappiness is quite IDEOLOGICAL! I would wish for a video that also sheds light on the massive negative effects that are caused by SOME businesses...
The nice thing about having a great idea is that the idea you have, while likely similar to someone else's, can still have its own place in the market. Local solutions can mean a lot more than global ones.
I'm only 14 and I'm invested into learning anything that has to do with business or financial accounting. I really can't do anything at the moment like work or etc, and I'm the type of person that doesn't like wasting time, so instead I'm learning abt it to know for future reference.
Could The School of Life make a video about how not to care what people think? Sometimes I find it hard to get out of my mind and live life for myself because I'm too busy worrying about outside judgment. I think others might appreciate the topic too, and The School always seems to reference the best quotes and examples to reinforce the ideas it presents.
People just do what they know best, they may not have any intention to add friction to you. Unfortunately that is the best they know. You can either be compassionate towards them, or you can ignore them. If you talk about what you are creating in the mind and suffering; it's just illusion, because, past and future really do not exist, you are making it up and magnifying them. If only, you know how to use the tremendous tools only human beings have (ability to recall the memory and project into the imagination) such a question would not raise. This has to be looked at at the earliest...

4 main misconception about entrepreneurs is You need alot of money for starting a business The idea needs to be unique and special Entrepreneurs are born not made People with big businesses are entrepreneurs
It may be an awfully cynical way of looking at it but surly a significant amount of entrepreneurs create a problem for people to feel bad/worried about and then offer the solution? Examples that come to mind are the beauty industry (with the suggestion that you are not beautiful without there product), quacks and charlatans who offer instant solutions to often made up problems and any company that promises instant happiness/fulfillment if you buy their product. Maybe I am just being negative but I would love to know what you think =)
+21stCenturyExaminedLife That is a wonderful and eloquently explained point, it has given me a lot to think about. I think overall I find you point hard to disagree with. Thanks for giving me food for thought =)
Yes i agree...another one is to offer a solution to a problem but nevere To fully give the full solution...this will make your buyers come back for more so they are stuck because of your marketing agenda .. an example is the PUA industry..the solution is simple but they sell it as something complicated...Another example is balding treatments and drugs like minoxidil...
I'm 15 years old and I write these things down. I educate myself about money daily. kids my age are out wasting time and having s3x and are lazy and all they do is complain about capitalism and try to be "alt"... but i try to be the difference. people laugh at me and give me the side eye or pretend to be supportive when i talk about my goals... but i know those are gonna be the same people coming to me for a job. thanks for the video
I’m 12. People always say I’ll never be successful, I just want to prove them wrong especially my family. No one has ever been supportive, if I can achieve my goal life would be great, and I’d get to be right. I have no idea how it’s going to go, i might be a failure like everyone else says I’ll be.
everyone can be an entrepreneur of their human capital... a foucauldian account of homoeconomic agency and neoliberal subjectivity on this topic would make for an AWESOME video
Think about Google, Apple, Cocacola and Facebook.... they care so much about your problems dont they, or maybe they just want to sell you more stuff and products. I'v never heard about a next-gen new company that actually made a difference in happiness of leaving... customers are a bunch of stupid donkeys, just give them something weird and techy and your sells will rocket up to the sky..
I'm sure that those companies did care about our problems at first. Google was made so that people could find websites and info easier, Coca-Cola was actually a medicine when it came out and Facebook was made to help people connect and communicate easier. They all initially cared about problems. But other than that I agree, most of consumers are more or less donkeys.
I'm just 14 years old, but honestly I am so interested in things like this. I started even taking notes.

Hello
First of all, to be an entrepreneur, I think one must have a lot of confidence and hardworking mindset!
Entrepreneur, according to me is someone who solves the problem. He willingly takes up challenging situations and figures out a solution for his own wellbeing and for the others. He has the necessary integrity to that. He don't think is working hard or he don't think it is its passion... He just acts out of his compassion and does what is needed...

I am a great matchmaker for finding the right caregiver for every elderly client - matching a patient's personality and clinical care needs with a caregiver who has the proper training and attitude.
I don't waste anyone's time. Two phone calls, one email, and families and their loved ones are in a happy place.
It's just the business is a tricky business; most clients can't or won't pay realistic fees for home care services (discrimination doesn't help).
My business will never be a big business, but I’m happy to help some families and caregivers.
It also keeps me from working for others.😁

The principal doesn't own the school, the taxpayers do. Some people in the field of public instruction are just plain full of shit!
People laugh when I say imma create something incredible and it makes me sad sometimes but just remember the name N.Bernard it'll be everywhere in the future ;)
promise?
I will wait !
Remember my name too AJAY.P

I will find you when i get rich
I’m 14 right now thinking of things I can do to become successful because I know I’m not gonna be sitting at home and studying for hours just to let a high school drop out make more money than me.
Infstructre for calling and others cause the ones now are not sustainable and can’t handle nfts and cryptocurrencys
Exactly, start your research now and be your own school teacher. On your own time and you will be making more than your teachers by time your out of high school. Start early!
I am 15 to right now. If you wouldn't Mind we could chat for a bit, I am starting to meet positive and smart minded people. You seem like a friend I would love to have.
Fully agreed. Whenever I see certain new products I often think "wow. that makes my life so much easier. Wish I had thought of it" and then go about my life. I don't go looking for negative things, but I am a little more keen on inconveniences especially since I work two jobs and everything is point A to B for me. One day I hope to start a culinary business that supports athletic people and body builders. ;)
I think I'm in love with a RUclips channel.
Im 11 yrs old now , I feel like i wanna be an entrepreneur cuz it fits me so well
Im so ready for this kind of stuff!🔥🔥🔥🔥

+The School of Life I saw his Ted Talk on Atheism 2.0, and now I have his book. It would be an honor for me if you could tell him he has fans in countries he hasn't even heard of (like my country; Suriname)
+Gregory Bainathsah can you give a brief introduction to your country? I'm curious
I'd love to! We used to be a Dutch colony up until slavery got abolished in 1863, after which contracted labourers came here from predominantly India, Indonesia, Africa, China (hence our incredibly diverse culture. We are quite known for the fact that we have a Synagogue and a Mosque right next to each other to signify the respect we have for culture). We became independent from the Dutch in 1975, and have had quite a stabile economic growth thanks to mostly natural resources. We have huge amounts of untainted Amazonian rainforests (as we are neighbors to Brazil). Anything else you want to know, just ask!
Gregory Bainathsah Thanks for the info. From Malaysia btw :)
***** Lol....Everyone is entitled to their own (wrong) opninion xD
The thing is, most people probably don’t understand their own unhappiness and so they reach for the wrong things. A good entrepreneur takes advantage of that and gives them the thing they want rather than the thing they need. Since they are not looking for the thing they need.
A truly good entrepreneur will convince them to get the thing they need

This is weirdly exactly what I needed to hear right before bed.

Putting a lot of your ideas into practice, we'll see how it goes.
How is it going?

There have been a lot of changes over the past 9 months, and when we give an update I think it will be clear why it's been so long since our last update. Long story short, we are in Seattle searching for a space.
That was a fascinating perspective on entrepreneurship! I never thought about it as understanding and addressing human unhappiness. It's a powerful idea that makes a lot of sense.
I'm inspired to start looking at my own frustrations and see if there's a business opportunity hiding there. Thanks for sharing this unique insight.
Everything Started As Nothing. It's important to start. That's the biggest first step that so many people fail to do. As an entrepreneur, you need to create a plan with goals and execute the plan to achieve the goals. The plan will have bumps and you will need to adjust and evolve along the way to eventually get to your goals. The journey will have a lot of ups and downs, but if you have a good business, you push hard and constantly evolve...then major goals are reachable. Dream big. :)
I agree, cause people perspective nowadays on becoming a “successful” entrepreneur is about going after wealth doing the world are doing , create what the world already had instead of finding the solutions or the answers for the problem our world confronting right now
Dang, that's probably the best take on "how to be an entrepreneur" I've heard in a while. I'l take it.
I have to agree. A good business identifies a pain and then offers a way to relieve that pain with a product that provides more use value than the cash value they are asking for. Good video.
Guys I have been a successful entrepreneur for nearly 20 years. My first career was in banking and then a cop. School teachers are probably worse placed to give advice about where you should point your life. Parents can be a good influence but don’t let others tell you what you are good at and what you should be doing. If you have a desire to feel the success when someone wants to pay for what you have created, offered for sale you have got to stay on the path of an entrepreneur. Reliance is the key!
Can you tell us a little bit about your background and how you become an entrepreneur
I have just watched 1 minute of this video and i paused it and came here to write that this video is an absolute gem. Hope you read this Thanks and Keep it going bro cheers
16 year old just wanna make his momma proud 💪
To those people who take this course hoping you'll become a successful business man/women someday.
When I look at what makes me unhappy it's the thought of the future and what its gonna loon like. I don't know if I can change that.
time machine duh
I don't think tackling the source of the problem is the only possibility (or in many cases possible at all) for several issues. Many people say reducing fear without attempting to change something at the root is no valid problem solving strategy. I disagree. There are so many issues that will occupy your thoughts day and night, without being changeable in any way. I'd advise founding a sedative and painkiller exchange or bringing people together for group hug sessions for a fee or whatever. Full of valium and getting your back rubbed? The future doesn't seem so bleak now, after all, does it? xD
You cannot suffer the past or future because they do not exist. What you are suffering is your memory and your imagination. These are the tremendous tools only human being posses and sets us above in the evolutionary scale. If only, you know know to use them for your own wellbeing, such a question would not raise.
@@entrepreneurbychoice well said
it isn't just about ideas, its more about working ideas. Most of the time ideas others had but haven't done well enough. Usually a business that is successful makes something/provides a service that is actually 1000 tiny problems (all known already and nothing new) solved together.
All of the biggest successes and things we "can't live without" any more are "bad ideas" that have been worked hard enough to make a profit.
Everyone has ideas, they come naturally and for free, -they are also free of value. what is of value is implementation.

Thank you for this good vidéo! As a french entrepreneur I think that being an entrepreneur is the best way to have an open mind and do something in what we trust which will help other peoples :) So, come on guys, launch your own company ! :D
you have forgotten your hashtags and the link to your business book. Man i almost 40 and i have seen so many of you guys come and go and tellling the world they have the key......... just to disappear into nothing. And so will you but if you not call me when you are rich and prove me wrong. But i dont think so, like the others you will find a wife, a job and you will be never heard again.
One of the most comprehensive videos about becoming an entrepreneur
I love how your channel absolutely exploded in subscribers and views, you deserve to be seen and heard by more and more people!
I just hope you will keep up the quality of your content!
Very well done guys and girls behind The School of Life
Keep focused. Meditate, Read, Exercise, and keep focused on 1 thing. Your life will change in 6 months. Good Luck, and see you on the other side !
I am 17 years old and I am really wanting to become an entrepreneur
I knew this was going to be good, but I was NOT expecting this! Such amazing advice. Entrepreneurship is all psychological! Learn human behavior and you're ahead of the competition.
Sometimes I sense that the biggest problem of all is that all want to become an entrepreneur.
GladX there is a huge problem when there is a party in a small room and everyone wants a place on it.
GladX no matter how great is your potential. Our world is finite.
***** the number of entrepreneurs is rising. Imagine a world where this idea is ubiquitous, where should big companies form if anyone wants to be it's own boss?
+Eduardo Felipe Families, countries, secret societies, social clubs, tribes, etc. There are plenty categories already let alone in the future.
+Eduardo Felipe The problem isn't so much as what 'companies' do as it is what *we* do. I think the whole point of 'society' in the first place will be to socialise us for uniform commerce (and most hopefully progress).
You just do it. You will get things wrong. You will get tired. But you’ll never fail so long as you learn.
Excellent art.
Im getting nervous about my life path but also exited in some ways i want to have a nice life and make a big change on my family legacy...
absolutely love this. exactly what i was looking for today.
I am just 13 I intersted in this channel ,School time is best
any good entrepreneur knows that a business is solving someone else's problems and the greater the problem the more money your going to make.
Remember today's date, it will be the birthdate of countless successful major business in the future. Love you The School of Life!
As a 15 year old, I am studying hard over the summer and learning as much as I can about school/academics for the next grade, and jobs on what I should do in order to get myself a lavish, good lifestyle (which has been my dream for years) I am so interested in Lawyers, Entrepreneurs, and political conservative commentators. I really believe I can fit into one or maybe even all of the 3 I am aiming for. I might be an entrepreneur, and an author. My dream is to make a business, an airline business which will be a lot of fun for me to make, and enjoy my interest. Also, I know i have to take a lot of risks to become a wealthy entrepreneur. I am praying a lot that I can become successful in high school, good grades, college, jobs, extra credit classes, and my degrees. I have a lot of hard work to look forward to, BUT, Jesus is by my side and he will help me get there, and I remember to always put GOD FIRST when I am the richest person, no matter what we always put the lord first. As a Christian, I am praying that I can succeed and hear good news, and aim to solve some problems. JESUS PLEASE HELP ME AND TAKE THE WHEEL!✝️✝️♥️♥️♥️ GOD FIRST
I aint reading allat 😂
Ah I really needed this video at this time. I have an idea that could lead me into being an entrepreneur and I'm quite worried about the money aspect, but the main focus is that it is a way to fix something, however on a small scale.
This video, Allain and SoL in general are wise as fuck. It's like the hermit-sitting-atop-of-a-mountain of the modern world.
I started my business one year ago at age 16!! My client retention rate is off the charts-They're my biggest fans!! I told everyone the internet would be big, look who's laughing now ha ha!
This is awesome for the devoted entrepreneur!
I love the word you used: devoted entrepreneur!
Mind fed. Eddie Veder's song Society talks of this never ending greed, but it seems greed is more of a never ending unhappines of being human. The result of this greed is having major effects on our world, some we can not see yet. Thanks school of life, something to contemplate for a couple days.
Really great lesson here

THANK YOU VERY HELPFUL AND EDUCATIONAL. DEFININETELY EXPANDED MY HORIZON
This video seems to slightly contradict SOL's overall message. 1:21 "Every unhappiness is really a new business waiting to be born." Maybe it's only my interpretation, but that sounds like, "you can only be happy if you buy what this new business is selling." Most entrepreneurs solve only tangible problems, problems which we already solved decades ago. Yes, we can come up with more effective ways of solving such problems, but it will not increase happiness. Despite all the new inventions we've had in the last 50+ years, the level of happiness has remained roughly the same in western countries.
The only businesses that we need now are ones that attempt to solve intangible problems: relationships, education, politics, communication (understanding), and any life problems or anything that focuses on EQ (Emotional Intelligence). I think that SOL is such a business, but it can never be (not in this system) a successful business like Coca-Cola or McDonald's because these businesses are selling a quick fix and selling it cheap. There is no quick fix to relationship problems, or to education, or to politics. A pill isn't going to fix your broken marriage. There are plenty of "entrepreneurs" that can help fix such problems, but first we need the general public to understand that it will take time to fix such problems, so that then they're willing to spend money on a long-term fix.
SOL's videos "What is philosophy/literature/art for?" and some other videos seem to be the opposite of this video. We need entrepreneurs that can "sell" philosophy, literature, art, and education, to the masses.
Yes, we will continue to have material inventions, but even a teleportation device which will cut down your commute to and from work by 100% so you can spend more time with your family is not going to save your marriage.
I enjoy this site very much. However to state that every properly run business tries to fix things for people and strives to resolve cause of unhappiness is quite IDEOLOGICAL!
I would wish for a video that also sheds light on the massive negative effects that are caused by SOME businesses...
The nice thing about having a great idea is that the idea you have, while likely similar to someone else's, can still have its own place in the market. Local solutions can mean a lot more than global ones.
I like this School of Life idea, I'm enjoying it!
I'm only 14 and I'm invested into learning anything that has to do with business or financial accounting. I really can't do anything at the moment like work or etc, and I'm the type of person that doesn't like wasting time, so instead I'm learning abt it to know for future reference.
Could The School of Life make a video about how not to care what people think? Sometimes I find it hard to get out of my mind and live life for myself because I'm too busy worrying about outside judgment. I think others might appreciate the topic too, and The School always seems to reference the best quotes and examples to reinforce the ideas it presents.
People just do what they know best, they may not have any intention to add friction to you. Unfortunately that is the best they know. You can either be compassionate towards them, or you can ignore them.
If you talk about what you are creating in the mind and suffering; it's just illusion, because, past and future really do not exist, you are making it up and magnifying them. If only, you know how to use the tremendous tools only human beings have (ability to recall the memory and project into the imagination) such a question would not raise. This has to be looked at at the earliest...
Ppl speaking negatively towards you are jus them showing what they are not doing right.. it can be challenging to not let the negativity get in your head but jus know that you are actually doing something right cs if you weren’t those same ppl would be right by your side cheering you on
Ive been struggling with getting started as a business owner, and this video is spot on.
Heres a tip:
Make clothing brand
Sponsor it
Design clothes that are different and uniq. Why?
Because biggest fashion experts may buy them from you for extreme price(500k-10M)
Or if anything doesn't work...
Ranveer Singh will definitely buy those strange cloths from you! 😂

In my marketing class this semester I was told 3% of products created don't fail. So that's nice.
I'm depressed and want to be an entrepreneur... I'm about to be rich
4 main misconception about entrepreneurs is
You need alot of money for starting a business
The idea needs to be unique and special
Entrepreneurs are born not made
People with big businesses are entrepreneurs
It may be an awfully cynical way of looking at it but surly a significant amount of entrepreneurs create a problem for people to feel bad/worried about and then offer the solution? Examples that come to mind are the beauty industry (with the suggestion that you are not beautiful without there product), quacks and charlatans who offer instant solutions to often made up problems and any company that promises instant happiness/fulfillment if you buy their product. Maybe I am just being negative but I would love to know what you think =)
+21stCenturyExaminedLife That is a wonderful and eloquently explained point, it has given me a lot to think about. I think overall I find you point hard to disagree with. Thanks for giving me food for thought =)
Yes i agree...another one is to offer a solution to a problem but nevere To fully give the full solution...this will make your buyers come back for more so they are stuck because of your marketing agenda
.. an example is the PUA industry..the solution is simple but they sell it as something complicated...Another example is balding treatments and drugs like minoxidil...

I'm 15 years old and I write these things down. I educate myself about money daily. kids my age are out wasting time and having s3x and are lazy and all they do is complain about capitalism and try to be "alt"... but i try to be the difference. people laugh at me and give me the side eye or pretend to be supportive when i talk about my goals... but i know those are gonna be the same people coming to me for a job. thanks for the video
I’m 12. People always say I’ll never be successful, I just want to prove them wrong especially my family. No one has ever been supportive, if I can achieve my goal life would be great, and I’d get to be right. I have no idea how it’s going to go, i might be a failure like everyone else says I’ll be.
I've got a question School life: do you take on apprenticeships?
+The School of Life "yet" I like the prospect of future possibility!
+The School of Life Would you know of places where you can learn philosophy within a sort off apprenticeship way?
Myles Sierevogel no such a place exists I'm afraid
everyone can be an entrepreneur of their human capital... a foucauldian account of homoeconomic agency and neoliberal subjectivity on this topic would make for an AWESOME video
Think about Google, Apple, Cocacola and Facebook.... they care so much about your problems dont they, or maybe they just want to sell you more stuff and products. I'v never heard about a next-gen new company that actually made a difference in happiness of leaving... customers are a bunch of stupid donkeys, just give them something weird and techy and your sells will rocket up to the sky..
I'm sure that those companies did care about our problems at first. Google was made so that people could find websites and info easier, Coca-Cola was actually a medicine when it came out and Facebook was made to help people connect and communicate easier. They all initially cared about problems. But other than that I agree, most of consumers are more or less donkeys.
Here I agree heartily with Alain's approach.
