What?! This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s 2019?!? Everyone should be an entrepreneur?? edit: damn @mad not you too! Lol
ok but people who strictly refer to themselves as "entrepreneurs" in my experience usually do so with some pretense and charlatanism. Let's zero in on something folks
I mostly mean that most other "entrepreneurs" that I've known/interacted with are huge dbags and/or big time capitalism lovers
Oh lol maybe. I feel like some people rly make a living jumping from thing to thing like that so they rly don’t zero in they just open businesses of all kinds back to back but mostly I’m just referring to people bucking the traditional work industry and refusing exploitation and becoming their own bosses and exploiting capitalism in their own way rather than vice versa lol
Like sex work, obviously we support that But when I think entrepreneur I also think capitalist douche not what you mean haha
That’s so unfortunate! We need to take back the word from the capitalist douches like I’m genuinely shocked by these reactions if I’m being honest. Like literally in this day and age and with the Internet/social media it’s more possible than ever to make a living for yourself doing something non traditional/self-employed maybe self employed is a better term ?? Idk
The word has a negative connotation for me as well, probably unfairly so. Maybe it’s because I went to a college where the biggest focus was the business school and I experienced way too many obnoxious business bros who always talked about being entrepreneurs.
The word has a negative connotation for me because everyone I know who calls themselves that is involved in a pyramid scheme trying to sell me oils or vitamins or something
Also true haha huge overlap between the business bros and people trying to sell that Vemma energy shit back in 2011
Dudes who say they're "entrepreneurs" remind me of all the guys in my business school and lemme tell ya they weren't great
What if instead of 'entrepreneurs' their profile said 'business owner'? I too see the negative connotation to the word, but the act itself, of owning your own business, is great and commendable!
"Entrepreneurs" were only overshadowed by the people at my school who wanted to be goldman sach executives
Oh god yeah we had tons of those too. Maybe I’m just bitter about all the condescension I put up with for being a history major.
