Entrepreneurial Mindset

Entrepreneurship is the future. Current trends suggest that people are more likely to earn their livelihoods through entrepreneurship and self-employment in the future, as small business ownership becomes ever more popular and viable through recent innovations, such as micropayments and crowdfunding. However, even if this prediction does not hold true with everyone, the ultimate responsibility of actively developing one’s skills and seeking new opportunities lies in the hands of the individual. It is essential to help students develop an adaptive, creative and broad-minded approach towards professional life, and encourage students to understand the realities of entrepreneurship: the risks, the rewards and responsibilities to society. Lesson plans should include opportunities to come up with new ideas and solutions that can be applied in students’ everyday life.
