GED 0020 – Entrepreneurial Mindset
Course Description
How do entrepreneurs identify opportunities that others overlook? What are the underlying beliefs and assumptions that enable them to succeed, regardless of where they begin? Entrepreneurship requires people to identify problems in the environments in which they live and work and then reconceive them as opportunities for improvement. The entrepreneurial mindset ignites the process of searching for the intersection of one’s interests and abilities with the needs of fellow human-beings. Through experiential, problem-based learning, students explore specific beliefs and assumptions that enable entrepreneurs to succeed so that they can apply them to college or their chosen career path.
