Lifelong Learning: The Foundation of Entrepreneurship Education

In her article “5 Stages of Lifelong Learning,” Cathy Ashmore, of The Consortium for Entrepreneurship Education, Columbus, OH, asserts that developing expertise as an entrepreneur is a lifelong process.

Entrepreneurs see potential in all kinds of situations and circumstances, and have the know-how to act upon it.  But this entrepreneurial mindset isn’t just a one-time deal. 

Successful entrepreneurs understand how to build on their experiences, even their failures, and turn them into future opportunities.

No successful entrepreneur ever stops seeking out multiple sources of knowledge to better him or her self - whether through books, seminars, networking, classes or other methods.

Your entrepreneurship education is a lifelong process of constantly learning and harnessing your entrepreneurial spirit…  This is how you turn potential opportunity into success.
