What does the word ‘entrepreneurship’ mean? It has always been about developing and running a business to make a profit. There is a movie called A Billion Entrepreneurs, a crowd-funded film, set out to redefine the meaning of entrepreneurship. Through the movie, Filmmaker Jimmy Newson wanted to share that entrepreneurship would mean:
taking responsibility for outcomes
It all starts with this question:
what is your purpose?
Everyone wants to know what their purpose in life was. What are they sent to the world for? Why do they even exist? I know I asked myself, and God, these questions many times. And when we have discovered what our purpose is, we then ask, what do we do with this purpose? This is where entrepreneurship comes in and how A Billion Entrepreneurs seeks to inspire people around the world to take up this purpose and do something worthwhile about it.
A Billion Entrepreneurs is a documentary film that follows real-life entrepreneurs “as they leave a trail of impact, inspiration, mentorship, and responsibility in their business and personal lives which has an effect on countless people.” The purpose of this movie is to allow the viewers to understand how invigorating it is to be an entrepreneur and to empower them to believe that they can do it, too. Not just the adults, even children can be entrepreneurs and change the world for the better. The idea of solving a problem a person is passionate about should be exciting to an entrepreneur. The movie wishes to make a billion entrepreneurs with their catalyzing statement: an entrepreneur in every home.
Can a stay-at-home-mom like me be an entrepreneur? What does taking responsibility for outcomes mean for me? Taking responsibility for outcomes means being a better mom. Taking responsibility for outcomes means freedom to do what’s important to me, security for my children and success in living out my purpose, for me and my family. This movie will surely be worth watching by everyone.

It’s really tricky to start a business that’s why successful entrepreneurs are awesome.
I always want to be an entrepreneur I just don’t know where to start. I’ve been praying for a source of income which will not tie me to my computer for so long.

I am also praying for a source of income, any source.
I’m not sure if entrepreneurship is for me. But I love the idea of leaving a trail of impact and inspiration. This is definitely something I want to do in life. 🙂

It sure would be nice to be able to inspire others.
anyone can be an entrepreneur as long as you set your mind into it. My lola was the ultimate mompreneur she was a widow with 11 kids she started her own business and she raised her kids and grew her business on her own.
Wow! Your lola is admirable!
I don’t think entrepreneurship is for me but it is certainly possible for a stay at home mother to be one.

That is great Aby, and love that many people are buying from your online shop.
I’ve always wanted to be an entrepreneur as well, that’s why I started a home-based baking business earlier this year. I watched the trailer, by the way. I think it’s something that should be watched by those who want to learn more about being an entrepreneur.

Wow, that’s cool! Good luck on your business.
most people are afraid to inquire… and I think that this is the simplest way for us to acquire the knowledge, like what the lady mentioned in the trailer. i am an entrepreneur and my parents and i run a small business 🙂

I want to be an entrepreneur while having a day job, though I know it’s really hard. I can’t leave my job since it’s my bread and butter. I hope one day I’ll have the urge to start what I want.
