Career Advisors on Demand..com/webinarsThere are many reasons to
become an entrepreneur. Some are better than others. Youd love
nothing more than freedom from the man You seek flexibility in your
hours or work/life balance You enjoy creating things You have a
brilliant idea that the world cant live without Youd rather get
things done than be a cog in a machine You want to be wealthy MDs
at Goldman are rich. Peter Thiel is wealthy. but can you (and your
wife/kids/hungry dog) stomach the risk?At the end of the day, its a
personal decision. Only you know if entrepreneurship is right for
you. Hosted by:
Career Advisors on Demand..com/webinarsThe 5-step plan: Get
started early Your time in b-school flies by. Graduation (and the
real world) is closer than you think. Even if youre just have a
hunch, explore it today Use the first few weeks to figure out the
lay of the land Start looking for potential partners Tell people
your idea. Nobody is going to steal it.

classes (and meet the right professors) Take as many
entrepreneurship courses as you can The material is helpful (sort
of). Classes on legal issues, and hands-on business plan creation,
are invaluable. The biggest benefit: meeting classmates and
professors who can help you get started Take your profs to lunch
(dont worry, its only awkward for the first 5 minutes)
Can you teach entrepreneurship? Maybe. Hosted by:

blindersYour friends will be recruitingDont worry, youre not
missing out. It sucks. Signing bonuses are nice, but if you have
money saved up (or friends/family that will invest), thatll work
too.Dont get discouraged by uncertainty and self-doubt. If you are
overcome by anxiety as graduation approaches, take it as a
sign.
Without self-belief nothing can be accomplished. With it,
nothing is impossible. Felix Dennis (founder of Maxim)
