Starting your own path

This completed session was designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of starting their own path.

The published lesson focused on what it means to be an entrepreneur, the opportunities and challenges of an entrepreneurial lifestyle, and practical ways to protect a healthy balance between work and life.

What the workshop set out to teach

Four objectives shaped the first session of the series.

  • Understand the role

    Explore what it truly means to be an entrepreneur.

  • Notice the overlap

    Consider how to balance work and life when their boundaries begin to overlap.

  • Weigh the reality

    Recognize both the challenges and the opportunities of an entrepreneurial lifestyle.

  • Reflect on your mindset

    Use a short self-reflection quiz to think about an entrepreneurial mindset in everyday life.

Ambition without losing the rest of life

The intended takeaway went beyond starting a company.

By the end of the lesson, students were intended to have a clearer understanding of how they could become more entrepreneurial in their own lives while still making room for the people, interests, and time that matter outside work.

Self-reflection was part of the lesson

The published outline included a short quiz intended to help students reflect on their own entrepreneurial mindset.
