The external environment or external audit are the factors outside the company that affect the company's ability to function. (Writer, L. G. 2011) It is made up of three components. The first being the general environment. Legal, political, social, technology, environmental, and economic factors are all included in the general environment.
The company's mission statement, organizational culture and style of leadership are factors that are typically associated with the internal environment of an organization. The external environment are those factors that occur outside of the company that cause change in organizations and are, for the most part, beyond the control of the company. Customers, competition, the economy, technology, political and social conditions and resources are common external factors that influence the organization.

To fulfill my passion and goals throughout highschool I have always been an active member of 4-H showing horses, dogs, goats, as well as being a member of the Junior Leaders 4-H club, horse judging team, and participating in non-animal projects such as sewing and photography. Through these programs I have met many people who have helped guide me as I have made my future decisions as well as developed many skills I plan to take with me to college.

Thus, research on the definition of entrepreneurship continue. According to those diverse views, I will interpret six unique entrepreneurial characteristics and theoretically analyze each one. Risk taker, need for achievement and proactivity as my strengthens will be illustrated with my experience. Innovativeness, internal locus of control and tolerance for ambiguity are my weaknesses, thus I will describe relevant successful Entrepreneurs’ experiences.
