Assessment 1 Information
This Assessment Task will address the following Learning Outcomes:

Assessment Description
Each student is to submit a 10-minute video presentation covering the following questions.
• What is the difference between an entrepreneur and a small business
owner? Which one are you or do you think you are? Why?
• What skills are required to manage the on-going demands associated with running
a small business? Which ones do you have? What are your skill gaps? What
must you do to fill those gaps in order for you to have a successful business?
• What is your passion? Do you think you could turn that ‘passion’ into a successful
small business? Why or why not? Justify your answer using marketing research
including trends locally, nationally, and globally depending on your vision and
mission.
• Research a small business owner or entrepreneur that you admire or aspire to be.
State why you chose this person. Analyse his/her significant business decisions in
their business journey; these can include those turning points in the business. For
example, during COVID-19, many small businesses had to quickly ‘pivot’ to retain
their business due to the restrictions. In this example, discuss what were some key
strategies that helped them survive during that period. For others, note their small
business success stories and identify what led to his/her success as well as what
strategies helped overcome any key challenges.
• It is important that you also cite references in your presentation reflecting on topics
discussed in class.
