ENTR 6303: Entrepreneurial Mindset

University of North Carolina, Charlotte

This course is designed to help students�understand what an entrepreneurial mindset is and guide you in developing your own entrepreneurial mindset. An entrepreneurial mindset refers to a way of thinking that channels one's cognitions around opportunity and how to think about opportunities. An entrepreneurial mindset manifests as an inclination to discover, evaluate, and exploit opportunities, to passionately seek out new opportunities, to pursue opportunities with discipline, to anchor on the right opportunities, to focus on the execution of opportunities, and to engage others to support one's mindset and actions. As such, an entrepreneurial mindset is rooted in specific entrepreneurial principles that drive key behaviors (e.g., prototyping, experimentation, storytelling) to help individuals more effectively take advantage of opportunities.
