Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

This concludes #TalkitOWT! Thanks Latesha for giving us so much great information and sharing your entrepreneurial journey. Remember that entrepreneurship involves more than money. It takes time, WORK and most of all, motivation. Join us next time for another #TalkitOWT!

@latesha_byrd Thank you Latesha! It is important to block out negativity. NY Times best selling author Orrin Woodward once stated, “learn to use the criticism as fuel and you will never run out of energy.” Those are words to live by. #TalkitOWT

[Iota Rho @IotaRho1972]

Someone from https://t.co/7Z9ckgIeRe asked "How do you deal with people doubting entrepreneurship because it goes against the traditional 9-5 job?" @latesha_byrd what's your take?

[Iota Rho @IotaRho1972]

This is great advice #UNCC are you taking notes? 👀 #TalkItOWT

[Iota Rho @IotaRho1972]

But, each risk you take, big or small, has to be calculated as the business’s reputation, time and investment is at stake. You don’t want to waste your money and time on an idea without taking the time to research how profitable it’ll be. Hey @latesha_byrd what are your thoughts?

[Iota Rho @IotaRho1972]

Like Latesha stated, entrepreneurship is multidimensional. Now, lets play a game we call Entrepreneurship Myth Busters!

[Iota Rho @IotaRho1972]

True! According to https://t.co/dK3zA4idnq, people tend to think entrepreneurship is about taking every risk which presents itself. But if you do, you could end up bankrupt. You’ve probably heard "the higher the risk you take the higher the reward you stand to win."

[Iota Rho @IotaRho1972]

Entrepreneurship involves devoting a lot more than just your finances as Latesha said! Now on to our next question 👉🏾

[Iota Rho @IotaRho1972]

Hey @latesha_byrd what is your definition of entrepreneurship?

[Iota Rho @IotaRho1972]

The business dictionary defines entrepreneurship as "The capacity and willingness to develop, organize and manage a business venture along with any of its risks in order to make a profit. The most obvious example of entrepreneurship is the starting of new businesses."

[Iota Rho @IotaRho1972]

So, what is entrepreneurship you ask?
