As the world of social media continues to provide a platform for entrepreneurial pursuits, we are seeing more people partake in creating new things.

Although it is good to see the individuality of others on display, we must be careful to ensure that it does not override our social responsibility. That responsibility is to ensure that our output into the world does not put others directly at harm.

That starts with teaching entrepreneurs the importance of what they do and its purpose. Good entrepreneurship comes about when the individual takes personal account of their output and has a strong vision.

So, in this short, I will highlight the importance of defining the purpose of entrepreneurship and what we should teach the next set of business creators.

Defining the Purpose of Entrepreneurship

Unfortunately, education is taught from a third-person perspective. We teach most of the grounding subjects (maths, science, history, English) in the third person because they hold true concepts for us all. Gravity is a reality we all experience, so it would not make sense to teach it from a personal first-person perspective.
