Think about the life of an entrepreneur. Here is a quote from a Chilean entrepreneur who knows the value of hard work and understands that above all else, an entrepreneur must be able to sell: ideas, products, services. He or she must be able to lead by example.

"I've been an entrepreneur since I was born (in Chile). It is very simple, in Chile...you don't sell, you don't eat! I tell my clients...timid entrepreneurs have skinny kids! So don't take 'no' for an answer. Go out there and Sell, Sell, Sell," Chris Castillo, Professor, SME Program, Algonquin College School of Business, Ottawa, Canada, December 2008.

How can you really learn to be an entrepreneur? The only real way is to Learn By Doing 'it'. Students in ADM3396 will start their own businesses, run them during the course and make real money. To find out more, check out: LearnByDoing

* Please note: these competitions are open to submissions for not-for-profits and/or social enterprises; they require business models as much as for-profit enterprises. The productivity of charities is often measured by how much of the funds they raise are used in supporting the activities they espouse and how much are 'burned' in administration. The Salvation Army, for example, is noted for the high percentage of funds they raise that actually gets to the 'streets' to help persons in need.
