Entrepreneur Activity

Complete the following, in PowerPoint:

1) Review the 8 characteristics of successful entrepreneurs.  Which characteristics do you possess?  Do you think you would be a good entrepreneur?  Why or why not.  Create a simple outline of what your strengths and weaknesses might be.

2) Many entrepreneurs turn a hobby or area of interest into a business idea.  Others get their ideas from situations or daily problems for which they believe they have a solution- or a better solution than those already offered.  Think about an area of personal interest- or a problem you think you could solve with a new good or service- and create the first part of a potential business plan.  Use PowerPoint to introduce your new product or service.  Use the simple questions:

What is your product?
How does it work or how will it make peoples lives better/easier?
When would someone use your product or service?
Who is your product/service geared towards?
Where will you be located or where would your product be sold?
Where would you get financing?
Are there other products/services on the market that are similar to your idea?
What makes your product/service better than potential competitors?
