“We have a misunderstanding of what entrepreneurship is and why failure feeds success.”
We open the year 2019 with a discussion on entrepreneurship featuring the General Manager of the Barbados Youth Business Trust (BYBT), Cardell Fergusson. Do we have a true understanding of what entrepreneurship really is? Are we confusing entrepreneurship with self-employment? Will a failure to understand this difference be to our detriment in the long run, especially as there is a current drive to herd retrenched workers into the direction of entrepreneurship?
We tackle these questions and touch on other critical discussion points including:
The opportunity that lies in the change in the way the world currently does business.
How the BYBT embraces this change.
Creating the allure for entrepreneurs to use digital platforms to advance their businesses.
Changing the way the entrepreneur views failure.
The value of telling our stories.
