East Baton Rouge Parish Library - Entrepreneurial Mindset Training Course

Learning how to think like an entrepreneur can change your life.

Whether you want to build a business, transform your organization, or reinvent your career, an entrepreneurial mindset provides a new perspective; one that will expose new opportunities, ignite your ambition and cultivate the confidence and the creativity, the self-reliance and the resourcefulness that are essential for anyone to adapt and thrive in today’s rapidly changing world.

Welcome to the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program.

Inspired by the life-story of Pulitzer nominee Clifton Taulbert and the life-changing influence of an “unlikely” entrepreneur, the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program exposes the underlying logic, the methods, and processes that enable everyday entrepreneurs - those who may not have big ideas, access to wealthy investors, or advanced degrees - to succeed.

Learn directly from real-world entrepreneurs.

Rather than focusing on Silicon Valley high-growth entrepreneurs, the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program enables you to learn directly from first-hand wisdom and insights gathered from everyday entrepreneurs - those who started with little or nothing yet managed to succeed.

For example, you will learn from entrepreneurs like 1-800-GOT-JUNK founder Brian Scudamore who will describe how with little more than a used pickup truck and a few hundred dollars, he transformed a simple idea into a global brand.

This course is unique.

Instead of focusing on traditional business planning the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program distills the collective wisdom and insight from hundreds of everyday entrepreneurs into 8 core concepts that anyone can embrace. Each lesson contains video case studies featuring a variety of real-world “unlikely” entrepreneurs who have overcome challenges by embracing the core concepts of an entrepreneurial mindset.

The result is a revolutionary new learning experience that reveals the underlying logic and the methods that will empower you to think (and act) like an entrepreneur.

In this course you will learn how to:

• Recognize opportunities that others overlook. Drawing from best practices in design thinking, you will learn how to discover opportunities that are hiding in plain sight.
• Master the art of bootstrapping. You will learn how cash-strapped entrepreneurs manage to identify, evaluate, and transform their ideas into a sustainable success.
• Develop a success network that will enable you to avoid costly mistakes, reduce the learning curve, and accelerate your growth,
• Identify and overcome the self-imposed limitations that may be holding you back.
• Tap into a mindset that will inspire and empower you to create a path toward a more meaningful and prosperous life regardless of where you start.

This is not a "get rich quick" program.

If you are looking for a quick and easy way to make money, this course is probably not for you.

The Ice House Program is designed help you understand the underlying beliefs and behaviors that empower ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. This course offers a shift in perspective that can be fundamentally life-changing. Rather than promising overnight success, this course exposes the mindset and the methods that will ignite your ambition, activate your imagination and cultivate the confidence, the creativity, and the resourcefulness that will put you on a path towards a more meaningful and prosperous life.
