This course examines what it takes to start, operate, and grow your own business. Students will
develop the fundamental concepts and techniques necessary to become a successful
entrepreneur. The goal is to show that creating a growth mindset is possible, and very
attainable. We begin this endeavor with the assumption that there are no clear “rules” for
developing a successful, and independent business venture. Unlike other courses that focus on
a single functional area of business, this course will concentrate on the complete business
scenario. We will use several methods to accomplish the goals of this course. WE will use the
textbook, case studies, and discussion boards to better understand the roadblocks and concepts
needed to become an effective entrepreneur.
