Hi!
00:06
I’m Anna Akana and for the next 17 weeks, I’ll be your host for the second half of
00:10
Crash Course Business.
00:12
So let’s talk about entrepreneurship!
00:14
“Entrepreneur” feels like a buzzword that businessy people throw around, like “synergy”
00:18
or “NextGen.”
00:19
And I’m gonna say it about a thousand times for this series, which can make any word feel
00:23
like it’s losing all meaning.
00:24
But it has a pretty clear definition: if you see a need in the world and take a financial
00:29
risk to fill that need… you’re an entrepreneur!
00:31
Congratulations!
00:32
I’m so proud of you!
00:34
You know, I didn’t think of myself as an entrepreneur when I started doing the whole YouTube thing,
00:38
and at first I was making money other ways too.
00:41
But I decided to take the risk, put in a lot of work, and do the art-acting-writing-music-YouTube-etcetera
00:47
thing full-time.
00:48
And now I’m a small business owner!
00:51
A real-life entrepreneur!
00:52
Everyone’s path is different, and because entrepreneurship involves a lot of risk, it’s
00:57
okay to be nervous.
00:58
And it’s okay to fail.
01:00
We’re gonna talk about how to tackle the scary stuff head on, and how to learn from
01:04
failure so it doesn’t turn you into a smoking burned out husk of a human.
01:07
Over these 17 episodes, we’ll start with the seed of any business -- a good idea -- and
01:13
talk about how to ask for help and grow it into a whole thriving entrepreneurial venture.
01:17
We’ll cover big-picture concepts like how to get helpful feedback, scope out your competition,
01:22
develop customer relationships, and start making money.
01:25
And also what the heck to do after you start making money!
01:28
Plus, we’ll make sure to translate all the entrepreneurship jargon and legalese along
01:32
the way.
01:33
You’ll be throwing around terms like “value proposition” and “minimum viable product”
01:38
like a pro.
01:39
And you’ll know the difference between C-corps, co-ops, and LLCs.
01:43
How entrepreneurial is THAT!
01:44
Our goal is to help you achieve your goals.
01:47
With a little grit, determination, and luck, your dreams or hobbies could potentially become
01:52
a whole career.
01:53
So join me next week, as we start our journey by asking who entrepreneurs are, and how you
01:59
might forge your own path to start a business.
02:02
I’m Anna Akana, this is Crash Course Entrepreneurship, and I’ll see you then.
