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. ;)

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.

@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.

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

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.

I totally like these kind of videos because i can learn english and some thoughts about some topics. Thanks @crashcourse

Anna is such an engaging and energetic host!

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.

Thank you, I really needed this.

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

I love the skirting around the issue that this is only possible for people who are either born rich, or uncommonly lucky (which isn't a viable strategy). "Rags to riches" tales are nothing more than propoganda. They're such an exception, and they're so often brought up without mentioning the 99.9% of "rags to riches" stories which instead end with destitution. I also don't appreciate the framing of the gig economy as a positive thing. The gig economy is borderland criminal. Its an abusive, amoral business model, even if it benifits a very small proportion of workers

Direct and Simple explanation. Thanks a lot. 💕💗😘

I think it would have been better explained how the gig economy can help entrepreneurs build the foundations for their own businesses by having the ability to quickly and effectively have tasks completed. In this respect, the gig economy helps someone who may be a great engineer but knows nothing about marketing and webpage creation, can still be successful by relying on the gig economy to fix these faults. Opinions?
