Startups in Silicon Valley are inherently sexy, so most of us dream of being entrepreneurs at some point in our career. Many entrepreneurship lectures focus on the "how" of becoming an entrepreneur, while neglecting the "why." Is entrepreneurship right for me? Is it the right time to start a business? Are my skills a match for the business I want to launch? This session, which features a combination of lecture and in-class exercises, is designed to help us answer these questions. Whether you are just thinking about starting a business or have been an entrepreneur for many years, pondering these questions can help us be more successful and fulfilled in pursuing our entrepreneurial goals.
