this is what i’m looking for..thank you so much for this upload..such a valuable post..!!
I love what one of the participants said: “Something’s broken that you wanna fix, or because something doesn’t exist that you think should exist.” Most old-school business people talk about how there MUST be a PROBLEM to solve for there to be a business! Wrong. It doesn’t need to be a problem to solve in order to create a business. An opportunity in not necessarily the same thing as solving a problem.
This is packed full of great advice, thanks for being honest. I have had a black day and am glad that is to be expected. Keep moving forward !
I love many things in this conference. I went through so many tough moments that I guess I relate easily to all these experiences. I particularly like what the guy says around 0:27 0:28, when there is nobody left around you.
I appreciated the different perceptions and experiences….This particular video opened my mind to the possibility of success even with different points of views and attributes. At the core though, remained certain aspects that seemed to be generally agreed on as necessary in the entrepreneurial process. This was Good.
As a budding entrepreneur, this video offers great encouragement and advice. Thanks.
The video never really talks about mistakes made by entrepreneurs, which is a pity, but that doesn’t stop this being one of the best hour’s worth of video you’ll ever watch if you’re a start up or considering launching one.
Long video but well worth the watch. It’s not being an entrepreneur but we’re trying to help one small business at a time.
These are great interviews! I think these presentations are the best part of entrepreneurship classes.
Entrepreneur’s often are known to be unable to keep a job. We’re too much on making things better and improving then accepting the status quo
This is such a prime video. Thanks for sharing!
Four very compelling people. A fantastic panel.
Here is an insightful video on some of the mistakes entrepreneurs commit.
Good clip. What motivates entrepreneurs to take the time to attend the panel? Better title might be “What makes an entrepreneur run.”
great video and so much great info!!
What a great discussion, im inspired by what has been shared here. Thanks Stanford for business for posting this video!
This video hits so many topics on point. Very motivational video. Thanks for uploading.
worth the time listening to this one hour video, so many helpful insights that may help you, or me with some of the questions and uncertainties lingering in our minds trying to take this journey of entrepreneuship..
This is the real deal. Wish I had found this channel sooner!
I really enjoyed this presentation. The title is a bit of a misnomer, but the material covered was well worth the listen. It’s interesting to compare the way the various panelists speak about business as compared with educators. Experience makes a difference.
