She totally comes alive as the course progresses. Passionate, fun, and educational. Great video Anna.

[@GoogleSheetsFanboy]

She was the perfect match for this topic.

[@omnijack]

Wonderful to see her hosting one of these.

[@crashcourse]

Right? Anna's so great :) - Nick J.

[@brownmasao]

Idk who she is, but a wonderful human being with a exceptional presence

[@binishjoshi1126]

@@crashcourse Anna's just amazing!

[@ShaneHummus]

Idea + understanding the problem + market research to know where your target market at = business.

[@orion10x10]

well put. they should have put that in the video

[@djhmax09]

Don't forget about industry research too!

[@zonein6964]

Don't forget about taking action and research on laws pertaining to business, and employee and customer and consumers satisfaction and much more. But most importantly TAKE ACTION in ALL.

[@bryanlowks6117]

ay, didnt expect to see you here

[@lydiac680]

omg i haven't watching a crash course video in ages so when i finally clicked on one because i was interested in starting a business and saw anna hosting it, i really started screaming. she's actually so amazing.

[@devroz123]

As a person living in the tropics with constant afternoon rain, shoe umbrella is really a next BIG thing.~~

[@macybautista1301]

I thought she reminded me of a cartoon character with the sweater, then it hit me, Number 3 from Kids Next Door!

[@standingpineapple6651]

Call it destiny but I have been reading my affirmation every day to make my business and this will literally be the key steps to making my business a reality. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@GoogleSheetsFanboy]

Standing pineapple what type of business did you start?

[@joannarecker7771]

Thanks for making learning fun💛

[@BlaqTearz]

This video really helped me make a decision. Thank you so much!

[@markostojiljkovic7100]

U rich now ? :D

[@here5D]

Im really enjoying this crash course! everything thus far is fun to watch, attention-grabbing, hilarious - all around awesome! thank you 🤩

[@arounaalaho6357]

Passion, Complaints & Ego Love it!

[@genesisSEGA]

This is awesome I really needed this

[@poettruth]

This was the most helpful 12 minutes of my life. Thank you for this episode!

[@GoogleSheetsFanboy]

Lawrence what did you find helpful in this video?

[@WenzelSays]

Perfect timing. I have to write a business plan for my capstone course!

[@troysummerill3018]

Just came across this crash course topic and binged all 4 episodes. Love, love and like-a-whole-lot the crash course series. Owning 3 business "adventures", it goes to say you can never stop learning. Thank you for getting me sucked in to this great topic! Looking forward to more lack of sleep educating myself on being a better entrepreneur. Seriously, thank you.

[@BrainsApplied]

I'm just trying to start on a really tiny scale, to find out if things are working 😊 Great video! Thanks guys 😊

[@Anwar-AT]

The series is nice but we want more advanced stuff!

[@alexsmith-rs6zq]

Anwar Al Taher this was the 2nd episode of this series, it wouldn’t be a very good educational program if it glossed over the basics and went straight for the “advanced” stuff.

[@GoogleSheetsFanboy]

Anwar Al Taher what type of topics would you like to have seen?

[@dianegracedimaculangan9582]

Love it! It gave me a sense of direction. Thanks Crash Course and Miss Akana

[@terrellthomas9667]

Hello I am new to your channel and I am super pleased how crazy relevant you content is, I just want to say I appreciate the information you give. I just subscribed as well thank you for you videos they are super motivating and very easy to understand. That Netflix example was perfect 👌🏾

[@ys1940]

An advanced mathematical concepts crash course would be interesting

[@Zappyguy111]

At first I was, "meh, another get rich quick" But then I was, "this ties in with my experience and observations" I feel smart people rarely start businesses because they get hung up on the risks and not the rewards, it is indeed the daring who run businesses, although the daring and wise run business well.

[@CaressaBrowArtistry]

The host is so pretty

[@raney150]

Perfect timing! I have been considering opening a gay bar in a city that had one for 40 years but doesn’t anymore. The gay bar we had was bought out, and the new owners didn’t want it to be a gay bar anymore. Then they closed for renovations, then they had a fire and just didn’t reopen in 2 years.

[@astrovisionmedia9677]

I am so excited to watch this whole show, great personality. I love that CC is now doing entrepreneurship course, it's what I've always wanted.

[@icywalrus4906]

Thank you! Looking forward to more of these.

[@mollyhendricks1437]

Anna Voices Sasha from Amphibia and Gloria from Big City Greens

[@thebigjohn8239]

She’s gorgeous

[@yeopazman]

I think the same. Too bad for me, she is too far away AND is LGBTQ.

[@ShayShayPlay]

Yeop Azman Just cuz she's LGBT doesn't mean she's unavailable!

[@RialuCaos]

@@yeopazman To be specific, she's bisexual...not that it would change your chances any.

[@yeopazman]

@@RialuCaos you must be fun at parties by pointing out the obvious.

[@RauMichael]

I can’t concentrate, her hair, skin and basically everything about her just glows

[@businessstudieswithsimatel6713]

Wow!!! Great video dear, you are a source of information and inspiration. Keep it up

[@Ratzpackmedia]

We need more videos like this!!

[@surooshshayan5729]

Great presentation.... I am wondered how you make it so simple as if Its like explaining a kid how things works.... Wonderful technique ,,, hats off!!

[@amnaalbelooshe5857]

Good explanation. Thanks a lot.

[@ArianrhodTalon]

6:19 Instantly reminded me of Vanellope from Wreck-It-Ralph

[@teddslog7665]

Wow if I really become a successful entrepreneur you'll get my first thank you

[@bronsonaroberts]

A bus is just a limo full of friends you haven't met yet (wink, finger gun) . Fricken hilarious

Gluten helps my glutes.

[@domosteeze]

i heart you Exclamation mark!

[@JMJ5196]

Lol anna looks like Numbah 3 from code name kids next door!! So kawaiii!!

[@enkiimuto1041]

I was expecting something a little less general but this was nice.

[@GoogleSheetsFanboy]

What topics would you prefer to learn about?

[@vaibhavtripathi4951]

You should talk about little company "complexly".

[@Brian-tn4cd]

Welp this came at a perfect time I'm trying to plan a business now

[@GoogleSheetsFanboy]

Brian Suter have you tried the business model canvas example they gave in the video? We have used it a few times and it works great. Especially as a draft to a formal business plan.

[@Brian-tn4cd]

@@GoogleSheetsFanboy well the business didn't work out, couldn't get it off the ground and and had other issues to contend to, mostly stemming from the fact I'm a foreigner and doing business is a lot more paperwork I'm not good at dealing with

[@GoogleSheetsFanboy]

@@Brian-tn4cd Sorry to hear that. What type of business were you gonna start?

[@yashnanda6413]

Although there is one exception...the Mongols! 06:18

[@Chandasouk]

Excellent reader!

[@TheOnyomiMaster]

6:15 The Mongols would like some cream puffs

[@yashnanda6413]

Ah ...that series is amazing. John Green is the man!

[@nadiamireyli7707]

Aidan Fitzgerald i’m happy i actually understand this

[@abstractsilhouette8983]

Then how did krabby patties taste so great when the recipe is not known. The aquatic creatures could be allergic to something, right? Oh I know! It was because it was made earlier even before mr. krabs built the krusty krab. So mr. krabs is a LEGENDARY entrepreneur because he can make the perfect recipe for krabby patties! Woah! THIS IS TOO MUCH INFORMATION. My brain can't handle it.

[@matthewryan6005]

Great video!

[@Azori10]

It is so good. Crash course filling gaps in people's minds where it's necessary through free video platform with staff and partners dedicated to education. Does it payoff tho?

[@KilgoreTroutAsf]

1:15 Glad to know I have plenty of each

[@ishankdang1063]

Very interesting

[@Fusselwurmify]

Love the video. Several unnecessary spelling glitches in there though ("value propisition"? "glutten"?) ;)

[@Trynil]

Meet some people at a festival in Japan making whiskey with the spring water found on Rishiri island. And they have taste tests at local events but won't have any whiskey untill next year. Mostly it's a proof of concept that the water effects the taste and from my taste test it does.

[@sumeetkapoor]

The real video starts at 4:18. you're welcome.

[@DeadAccount43_]

Thank You!

[@naliepooh1]

Nice content

[@choreyblarfy2466]

thanks for the video!

Where the eff is Hank? He is Entrepreneurship personified. (At least have him take a moment away from his 40 businesses and guest star!)

[@jiangciyang3860]

who the eff is hank (just kidding they also have that question a question Tuesday, i know who hank is)

[@mohammadasad5637]

That was so helpfull.

glad i watched...

[@RandomPerson-vn9vj]

I shared my idea and someone stole it :(

Great job thank goodness 😅

[@pieceocake6683]

I want to open a cat Cafe in the small town I live in in Norway ;v;

[@GoogleSheetsFanboy]

That is great Aaron!! What type of cafe?

[@pinecone2214]

mfg this is the most entertaining crash course hodt yet.

[@archanaas1487]

The way these are expressed make me feel to initiate them right at the moment

[@ajinkyamehta6417]

Nice

[@Peerosky7197]

i never go there cuz i only drink tea

[@saraalam960]

That helped me on my test

[@dbzkings3650]

The social network kinda disproves some of your ideas but I respect most of it.

[@stephanieb7330]

*_ANNA?!_*

[@janbonne]

Yay Anna Akana!!!

[@ronpearson1912]

Or a youtube video showing the performance of your prototype and cool music.

[@lillyofthevalley208]

Niche market is the best. I made a lot of money by doing.

[@ajinkyamehta6417]

Which software did you use to edit the video

[@John-tx5or]

So, what if you have a few product ideas but you don't wanna run the business yourself?

[@ItzGanked]

Product Market Fit

[@danielpercival6368]

I have the ideas but don't have the money 😣

[@adarshsrivastava9981]

Why don't you learn digital marketing and market some existing product which is only sold offline

[@tat3179]

Actually, the world is awash with money chasing very few good ideas. In my opinion, work on an idea that works, present it well and watch people throwing money at you to get a piece. Everybody is looking for that unicorn.

[@SRk_soyuz]

Yeah, this is big Brain time

[@brickbunny9686]

4:43 the idea of sharing idea's sounds great in "THEORY" but in practice, there are a lot of IP thieves ready to take your idea if they have the resources and connections to rush it ahead before you can get your foot on the ground, so secrecy is still needed to some degree.

[@banuraspati5864]

When steve Jobs started Apple does he even consult? He managed to recruit John Sculley though

[@thecheeseclubvp]

Mistake at 5:13. Paul's eyes should be the most striking blue, not black. Thanks!

[@DarktitanX2]

Isn't there a chance of someone stealing your idea or out develop you? especially the networking groups

[@naimurmustafiz3837]

Did Netflix sponsor the video?😂😂

[@crashcourse]

Haha, no. It was just a good example :) - Nick J.

[@youxkio]
