Can business be learned? Can entrepreneurship be taught? Are business and entrepreneurship the same thing? What do these terms mean in our time and age? Let’s try to answer these questions.

See, the word “business” comes from the term “being busy”, it describes a state of being for a person who is working for her or himself. Most of the time, people distinguish between being an employee and being in business for yourself. This means, that you are in the state of being busy, generating or adding value to what you have or what resources you have at this time. Such as your wealth, your business, your business contacts, and social contacts. These are all resources that you add value to when you are in business

for yourself.

If you analyze deeply, you will realize at the end of the day, all employees are business people who have agreed to be in business for themselves. Exchanging their skills and knowledge for certain compensation with their employer. Now they can choose between their work, adding value to themselves and their skill set or they may just spend time not doing much and going home. In both cases they’re engaged in business activity, the former is a good business practice, and the latter is a bad business practice, eventually, it all adds up.

Entrepreneurship on the other hand is coming up with a new idea in the imagined world of the entrepreneur, that may add value to or benefit consumers. Then creating an opportunity for the entrepreneur, him or herself. Taking the idea of an entrepreneur and turning that into a profitable model, is the job of a business person. This is why many entrepreneurs fail because they do not have a business person with them. All employees are business people. All employers are business people. The relationship of learning and teaching business continues as an ongoing process. This process becomes more meaningful if the upper leadership and managers turn their organizations into learning and evolving business entities.

The state of learning requires an admission that we don’t know enough; learning is a process that requires a commitment to understand and internalize. What needs to be done next in anticipation of keeping the organization's development in the world of business? In the end, it is an existential matter for all stakeholders of the organization to continue to learn, and evolve in order for the organization to keep up with its competitors at large.
