Students explore how to think like an entrepreneur, including the motivations, attitudes and actions of entrepreneurs; through both “big picture” principles and messy, real world examples and hands-on applications. Areas of exploration include ways to discover, pursue and assess opportunity, understand why the work matters and what it really involves for success (e.g. break rules and expectations, get rid of self-limiting beliefs, embrace failure) and how to improve thinking like an entrepreneur through ongoing practice and "smart fails".
