Hi, I'm Anakonda, and for the next 17 weeks, I'll be your host for the second half of crash course business. So let's talk about entrepreneurship. Entrepreneur feels like a buzzword that business people throw around, like Synergy or NexGen. And I'm going to say it about a thousand times for this series, which can make any word feel like it's losing all meaning, but it has a pretty clear definition. If you see a need in the world and take a financial risk to fill that need, you're an entrepreneur.

Congratulations. I am so proud of you.

You know, I didn't think of myself as an entrepreneur when I first started doing the whole YouTube thing. And at first I was making money other ways as well. But I decided to take the risk, put in a lot of work and do the art, acting, writing, music, YouTube, etc, etc thing full time. And now I am a small business owner, a real life entrepreneur. You know, everyone's path is different and because entrepreneurship involves a lot of risk, it's OK to be nervous and it is OK to fail.

We're going to talk about how to tackle the scary stuff head on and how to learn from failure so it doesn't turn you into a smoking, burned out husk of a human over these 17 episodes. We'll start with the seed of any good business, a good idea, and talk about how to ask for help and grow it into a whole thriving entrepreneurial venture. We'll cover the big picture concepts like how to get helpful feedback, scope out your competition, develop customer relationships and start making money.

And also what the heck to do after you start making money. Plus, we'll make sure to translate all the entrepreneurship, jargon and legalese along the way. You'll be throwing around terms like value proposition and minimum viable product like a pro, and you'll know the difference between see Korps co-ops and ELSS. How entrepreneurial is that? Our goal is to help you achieve your goals with a little grit, determination and luck. Your dreams or hobbies could potentially become a whole career.

So join me next week as we start our journey by asking for entrepreneurs are and how you might forge your own path to start a business. I'm Anakonda. This is Crash Course Entrepreneurship and I'll see you then.
