Entrepreneurship mindset: 50 MBA mindset of entrepreneur (2)

To change the world, change yourself first.

Higher education is just HIRED education.  After that, you teach yourself.

Even if you go to Harvard undergrad and was a MIT chair professor - entrepreneurship is still a metamorphosis of yourself.  Great entrepreneurs do not skip school, but they unlearn schooling.  This is especially true for engineers, STEM students, and coders.

For CODER entrepreneurs - 60 minutes, 50 MBA concepts you must know to make entrepreneurship journey successful.

Entrepreneurship is a big puzzle.  If you are a coder, programmer, STEM student or technical professional, this is made for you.  Read potential investor's mind. Read the market and customers.  Spend an hour, save years of struggle and regrets.  Entrepreneurship is not aptitude, but attitude.  MBA and investors are not smarter, but they know some things engineering schools never teach.  We only cover the absolute essentials here.

Entrepreneurship is both about innovation and business.  You don't have to go to business school, but there are some critical elements a technical founder/CEO must know. Although MBA does not teach someone to be entrepreneurs, founders without some fundamental understandings of the business world will be unpleasantly surprised.

Technical founders will regret and struggle forever if you don't know these.  And most likely you don't know, because engineering and STEM teaching don't cover them at all.  I am a technical founder of six companies - I know what technical people don't know.  Here are fifty original diagrams I made during my journey of entrepreneurship.

I am a Caltech PhD in Electrical Engineering who spend 20 years as engineering school professor.  I started six companies - I want to teach engineers what you must know at the minimal about business.

MBA investors are not all smart, but they know somethings that most founders don't.  Founders will struggle forever if you do not get some essential concepts.  We discuss 50 of them here in under one hour.

Let's be honest.  Entrepreneurship is one of the hardest things to teach and understand - it is learning and exploration much beyond classrooms and jobs.  If you did not start building business as a teen, you don't have time to waste. You don't want to waste time on hope and euphoria.  You want to cut to the heart of the game, and build your enterprise or products.

Many first time entrepreneurs would underestimate many challenges - and some never go beyond the wannapreneur stage.  People either are stuck forever in ideas loop, or take undue risks by underestimating challenges.  Understanding these risks, which are never discussed in books honestly.

Without the full experience of one startup cycle, no one can grasp the entrepreneur's mindset.  However, this course tries to change that. 

The course teacher, Chang Liu, has been an engineer and inventor for all his life.  To understand entrepreneurship and startup, he read a lot of books.  However, none of the books make it clear about HOW TO CREATE a startup.  He went on to start six companies, so that he knows that the books do not teach.  Along the way, he figured out the best way to teach a difficult subject.

The pictures were collected and in many cases, hand drawn by Dr. Liu.  It contains unique insight into the entrepreneur world - which crosses personal development, technology, business, financing, and management.  The pictures are accompanied by short descriptions, but the length is kept minimal to allow one to go through many pictures quickly.

There are many previewable contents.  Please feel free to contact the instructor.
