What does it mean to be an entrepreneur?
Entrepreneurs are often business owners. They’re people who bring business ideas to life by developing them into start-ups and eventually growing them into profitable organisations.
With an entrepreneurial mindset, you’ll be able to identify business opportunities in the market. From here, business management, business strategy and project management skills are beneficial for generating a good business plan and getting your new business off the ground.
Entrepreneurship in Australia
According to the 2019/20 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), Australian employees are the most likely to engage in entrepreneurial activities for an employer but a large majority (52.4%) will not start a business due to fear of failure.
In 2019, the percentage of Australian adults who were in the early stages of starting a business declined by 1.7% (2017) to 10.5%. 26.7% of these early and established entrepreneurs work in the business services industry.
Australian entrepreneurs span over a large age range. However, the majority sit in the 25-34 and 35-44-year-old age brackets. Approximately 42% of Australian entrepreneurs are female.
26.4% of entrepreneurs have an undergraduate degree, while 26.1% have a VET or equivalent qualification.
Job outlook
Despite so many Australians having fears about starting a business, entrepreneurs can thrive in Australia. The small businesses industry in Australia continues to grow, with businesses that employ less than 20 employees making up 98% of Australian businesses and 44% of Australia‘s workforce.
Instead of being an employee of these small businesses, you can become an owner of your own successful business. An entrepreneurial qualification, however, doesn’t just equip you for becoming a business owner. It can also lead you to become a:
- Management consultant
- Financial broker
- Human resources manager
- Development officer
- Fundraising officer
- Sales executive
