Why attend Disciplined Entrepreneurship?
There are many myths about entrepreneurship. For example, that successful entrepreneurs are born, not made. Or that entrepreneurs are mercurial individualists, that they love risk, and that they are undisciplined. In most cases it is quite the opposite; entrepreneurship is a skill that can be taught.
Led by Bill Aulet—MIT Professor, Managing Director of The Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship, and longtime successful entrepreneur—this new entrepreneurship course explores the framework outlined in his award-winning and international best-selling book Disciplined Entrepreneurship: 24 Steps to a Successful Startup and explains in detail the strategy and tools used by successful startup founders and corporate teams to build new ventures.
