I was thinking today about how the problem with so many of these "what I learned about entrepreneurship" articles is that they never ever offer anything close to what a business student gets taught in the first class of an "introduction to entrepreneurship" course at any b-school worldwide.
You could literally pick a random 19 year old business undergraduate with a C average at any random college in the world and they'd have more to say than the random Guy Kawasaki/Jason Calacanis/flavor of the day entrepreneur.
- gruseom 18y agoHuh. I was thinking the problem with so many "entrepreneurship" programs is that they produce few actual entrepreneurs.
- rantfoil 18y agoHere's the real problem with entrepreneurship classes -- What's the point? People who take an entrepreneurship class are missing the point -- they're probably better off either taking more engineering classes so they can build something people want, OR taking that time and effort and actually working on something real. I was president of an entrepreneurship society in college. It was great. I met a lot of great entrepreneurs, spent a lot of time THINKING about entrepreneurship, and met a lot of great people from it. But even today I kick myself... because if only I had spent all those untold hours on an actual startup instead, then who knows where I'd be now instead. Reading/learning/thinking about entrepreneurship is meaningless and useless until you DO it.
