Question: Objective

• Get practice posting on YouTube

• How does an entrepreneur approach projects and uncover the entrepreneurial "mindset"

What beliefs and expectations do you have about entrepreneurs' stories? To what extent do you think they conform to media images of entrepreneurs? In what ways might you expect them to be different? Here is an activity to help you examine your beliefs and expectations.

Find and introduce yourself to an entrepreneur-any type of entrepreneur is fine. Ask for 20 minutes of his or her time, and simply start with the opening question: Tell me the story of how you became an entrepreneur.

As the story unfolds, you may want to ask the questions:

• What worried you the most as you started the venture?

• What excited you most about starting the venture?

• What resources did you use to start? Where did they come from?

• What moments do you remember most?

• Who helped you most along the way?

• How do you describe yourself to others?

• What advice do you have for me as a student of entrepreneurship?

In what ways did your chosen entrepreneur confirm your beliefs and expectations?

In what ways did the story motivate you (or not)?

What did you learn that was most unexpected?
