This workshop provides an in-depth look at the characteristics, backgrounds, and mindsets shared by successful small business owners. By exploring these traits, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of whether entrepreneurship is the right path for you. We’ll guide you through a practical self-assessment to help you evaluate your current skills, identify strengths, and uncover areas that may need development to improve your chances of long-term success.
Throughout the session, we will cover essential topics such as:
• What entrepreneurship really is and how it differs from simply owning a business.
• The entrepreneurial process, from idea to launch and beyond.
• Who can become an entrepreneur and whether age, gender, or background play a role.
• The value of education, including whether a business degree is necessary for success.
• Different paths to business ownership, such as starting from scratch, franchising, or buying an existing business.
