My Journey to Entrepreneurship

If I can give a lecture or advice and direction to someone to begin the entrepreneur journey will be to myself. I choose myself because I learned that whatever you wish for you, wish it for everyone else. I would put a title of the Letter of Emergency that is advised in the book Hero’s Journey by Jeff Sandefer and Rev. Robert Sirico.

According to Handy the real justification for the existence of business is “to make a profit so that the business can do something m...
