Most people dream of success, but take no action toward achieving these dreams. Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, have a strong desire to achieve a higher goal and make their dreams come true.
As an entrepreneur and small business owner, it’s important that you take charge of your own learning. Passion fueled by hard work, and a commitment to learning is the driving force that differentiates you from being just another entrepreneur. This year, invest in your personal training with free courses and resources from the East Baton Rouge Parish Library.
SHIFT YOUR MINDSET
Entrepreneurial Mindset Training: Helping entrepreneurs learn how to think (and act) like an entrepreneur with free online courses available 24/7 from any computer or mobile device. In this self-paced program, developed by the Entrepreneurial Learning Initiative, you learn to:
• Recognize opportunities that others overlook. Drawing from best practices in design thinking, you will learn how to discover opportunities that are hiding in plain sight.
• Master the art of bootstrapping. Learn how cash-strapped entrepreneurs manage to identify, evaluate and transform their ideas into a sustainable success.
• Develop a success network. This will enable you to avoid costly mistakes, reduce the learning curve and accelerate your growth.
• Identify and overcome the self-imposed limitations that may be holding you back.
• Tap into a mindset that will inspire and empower you to create a path toward a more meaningful and prosperous life regardless of where you start.
