Mindset: Tapping Your Entrepreneurial IQ
July 24th, 2009 by Mike
We’ve released our first course, Mindset: Tapping Your Entrepreneurial IQ. It’s the first in a series of courses which are based on the knowledge and insight of real-world entrepreneurs.
It’s currently being featured on Kauffman’s entrepreneurship.org.
It’s been a long and winding road to say the least. Gary and I embarked on this journey over two years ago. We partnered with Cisco to create a course for their Entrepreneur Institute about a year and a half ago which gave us the opportunity to go around the country and interview tons of entrepreneurs… a wide range of people from varying backgrounds who were either in the process of starting a business, running a business and in some cases had already started and sold many businesses. Their stories are all so valuable because in many cases the entrepreneurs themselves have never taken the time to articulate what they actually did to get where they have. Alot of times it’s become second-nature to them. We’ve taken their stories and applied them specifically in this course to illustrate how an entrepreneur’s mindset really is the starting point from which they all operate.
This experience has been nothing short of amazing. I have personally learned so much that I usually don’t realize it until something comes up and applies to our own business. The great part about it is, it’s not a “theoretical” approach that I read in a text book… it’s a story I remember from one of the entrepreneurs we’ve interviewed.
I’m excited about not only continuing to interview more and more entrepreneurs, I’m also looking forward to creating more courses which will fill out our entrepreneurship program. Stay tuned…
