Encouraging
Entrepreneurship Among Australian Students.
Australia has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. This has been made possible by the rising literacy rate. I must sadly point out that the Australian educational system equips the students to become job-seekers, rather than job creators. Though, the government has fought relentlessly to inculcate the spirit of entrepreneurship in its students, but this effort is not enough.
Success in entrepreneurship among Australian students can bring both micro-economic and macro-economic advantages. The American economy is second to none in the world because her students imbibed the culture of entrepreneurship. Over 90 percent of jobs in America were created by small businesses. This happened because the government created a level playing ground for it.
The 21st century business world is very tough and competitive. In this regard, Australia cannot be left out because, she is part of the global community. The government should do more to encourage its students to venture into entrepreneurship. It's pertinent to mention that entrepreneurship is the engine-room of any successful economy.
Just imagine how Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Apple and Starbucks support the American economy.
Now, on the part of Australian students, with the right mindset, can possibly establish companies as large as, if not larger than those in the United States of America. This mindset can be achieved by learning the following qualities exhibited by successful entrepreneurs:
a. You must be confident.
b. You must be optimistic.
c. You must be a risk-taker.
d. You must have foresight.
e. You must have financial management skill.
f. You must always persevere.

Basically,
there are two types of education taught about entrepreneurship, which are:
a. An education that teaches about setting up a business.
b. An education that is needed in order to become a successful entrepreneur.
a. An education that teaches about setting up a business.
b. An education that is needed in order to become a successful entrepreneur.
In my candid
opinion, the country's educational system teaches the 'a' above, which is a
pure deviation from what is obtainable in a modern societal setting.
Consequently, with the right education, and mental attitude, Australian
students can become successful entrepreneurs like their counterparts in the
United States.
Great things
don't just happen, they're set on motion.
In a nutshell, Australian students should start learning entrepreneurship today. If you like this post, please share it with your friends.
