Think entrepreneurially
You don't need your own business to think entrepreneurially.
Intrapreneurship means using entrepreneurial thinking within an existing organisation. An intrapreneur may notice a problem, suggest an improvement or help develop a new idea while working as part of the organisation.
Example
During work experience, you notice that appointment reminders are sometimes missed. Instead of ignoring the problem, you suggest a clearer system for tracking confirmations.
This shows entrepreneurial thinking, even though you are not starting your own business.
Skills give your ideas something to stand on.
Knowledge+Experience+Skills=Better preparation for entrepreneurship
Key takeaway
Business skills develop through practice, reflection and repeated experience. Focusing on communication, problem-solving, decision-making, teamwork, time management and adaptability can help you become more prepared for future business opportunities.
