What is entrepreneurship?
Entrepreneurship is the entire process that a person goes through to turn an idea into a real business. As we mentioned at the beginning, undertaking is a long but very enriching path.
To undertake, not only an idea is required, but also an investment (even if it is small). Investing in a domain, web hosting and a website is essential from the beginning. Why? Because you may think of having a physical business but yes or yes you must also have a digital presence.
Can it be undertaken in times of crisis?
Of course! Internet gives us a great hand to undertake, brings us the necessary technology and digital tools to the place where we are.
Social networks, search engines and marketplaces open the door for us to show the world what we can offer.
