Enterprise and the characteristics of an Entrepreneur came up in the Leaving Cert Business Ordinary Level paper last Tuesday (Section 2, Part 2), I hope in some way that this site aided people to answer the question. Good Luck to all for the remainder of the exams.

"If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves." - Thomas Edison

Welcome to my blog, I hope that you find it of benefit.

I believe that Entrepreneurs and people with an Entrepreneurial spirit can change the world.

I believe that this spirit is within each and everyone of us and its the passion and desire to achieve that brings it out.

'Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great' – Mark Twain

Entrepreneurs can change the world....

Being and Entrepreneur is not easy and involves a great deal of commitment, dedication and risk taking. It is often described as a rollercoaster....

Some of the most successful Entrepreneurs in the world have failed on numerous occasions, have been told its not worth it, be inspired by those who kept going because they believed in something. It is often easier to give up, but what a difference you can make to the world if you keep going and never give up until you reach your goal. Your motivation to succeed WILL get you there!
