THE ENTREPRENEUR?

The entrepreneur?
Marius Venter’s session was a very relaxing introductory session into what entrepreneurship really means. By giving us various interesting exercises, he aimed to engage us into an activity that we perform as both entrepreneurs and businessmen. Honestly speaking, prior to his presentation I did not have a clue of what all these complex terms, such as “entrepreneurship,” mean and I was also not interested to know.
However, his presentation and various exercises revealed the number of skills and strategies that we should develop and employ when entering the world of work. In fact, his presentation revealed once again that the process of finding and securing a job is a matter of developing your skills and abilities in various directions. Eventually, you would find a job that does not only test your strengths and abilities in this specific sector or area of expertise, but a job that takes you through a life-training course!

I really enjoyed the exercises that Marius Venter put us through. In particular the one where we had to break up into groups and present our 'artistic' image of the entrepreneur. We were all quite creative. The exercise with the pen was quite interesting, I didn't think anyone could come up with so many inspiring ideas using the pen as a 'muse'.
