The Streetwise Guide to Being Enteprising (Hardcover)

These skills are analysed and their relevance to business and social enterprise are linked in a practical format. To be enterprising is to create your own opportunities and to achieve your goals using the skills of an entrepreneur. In today's economic climate, it is up to us to make things happen for ourselves. Thankfully, there is a set of skills that you can learn which will enable you to move forward even in challenging times. This book is based on the author's work with graduates and small businesses, in helping them to achieve "Enterprise for Life" skills. These tried and tested skills give you an opportunity to build on your subject knowledge, whatever it may be, and to make an impact on what is increasingly an international marketplace. Enterprising people face the same challenges as the rest of us, whether in running their own business, a social enterprise or in a corporate setting. What enterprising people do differently is to turn problems into opportunities. This is how they make projects happen, and these successful projects in turn deliver which make both financial and social contributions, to the enterprisers and to society at large.
