National Entrepreneurship Week is once again in full swing at Southeast Missouri State University.
The idea is to pursue what you love to do and make a business from it. That’s the message of the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour, a group of young entrepreneurs who have come together to share their success stories, according to Tour Manager Laura MacMinn.
“It is really hard work, and it is failing, and it is learning, and it is figuring out what you want to do with your life and applying business concepts to it,” MacMinn said.
MacMinn wants students to realize they can do more than they think with their chosen majors.
“And it’s all about trying to bring in the other majors, other than just business, to actually experience what entrepreneurship is and what it could be,” MacMinn said. “Because I think there’s a stereotype around it.”
Friday’s keynote speaker is Clifton Taulbert, a man from the fields of Mississippi who became an author and international consultant. Events will continue to be held throughout the semester.
