Master Class: Thinking Like An Entrepreneur: Making an Idea Into a Business  

In this session we will explore the ways in which you can train your mind to think like an entrepreneur, identifying new ideas and open spaces in the market. Using my own experience and the case studies of other entrepreneurs, we will analyze the winding path that often looks unplanned but can ultimately lead you to your big idea. Finally we will learn how to take those ideas start to make them into a business.
