About the Course

This course is the first in a series on starting a business. Though new venture creation is the focus of the specialization, this course is important for everyone.To create a successful business it is not only about what you do (technical execution), it is also about how you think. This course provides learners with insights to re-frame their thinking in order to maximize their chances for success. So what can a learner expect to gain from this course? At the end of this course a learner: 1.) will be able to argue effectively against all of the reasons for not starting their business (or reaching some goal); 2.) will be able to operate effectively within the new framework or model for starting a business (or any new endeavor), thus increasing their chances for success; and 3.) will be able to make the initial business startup decisions of what type of business to start, and what type of business owner to be. Having an entrepreneurial mindset is critical to being successful as an entrepreneur. An entrepreneurial mindset stands alone in terms of its importance. No other attribute, personality, inherent entrepreneurial proclivities, training, or demographic profile is common to all successful entrepreneurs whether Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs, or the neighborhood florist or grocer. The course provides learners with an understanding of the attributes and perspectives of an entrepreneurial mindset, and the process to acquire one. We suggest that learners bring an open mind and be willing to thoroughly explore the nascent business ventures they have been carrying with them.The course introduces concepts that enables a person to start a trans-formative process in the way they think generally, and in the way they think about business specifically. This new way of thinking has the potential to positively impact not only them, but their family, and community....

For an absolute novice this was a great insight into starting your own startup. A strong foundational course that covers in detail what is required from a person to run and sustain a business.

Good and straightforward content but with so very little written excercises and thus very little room for lecturer feedback - I would not pay an additional 100$ just to get rated like that (I might consider it if the price included the mentioned books though). Still - I find it a very well designed, concise course. Thank you!

This course is good but there are places where it gets too theoretical and a few more activities will make it more interactive especially towards module 7,8 and 9

Their was problem in communication as the voice is not so clear.

It will be great if you can work on that and along with that content should be more engaging.

Not really what I expected but it gave me good insight on things I was doing wrong.

I just wish I had the patience and time to watch the lectures.

Slides were not exactly showing what the speaker was saying or relevant to the points he was listing. It seemed like they just wanted to put some slides there just for the sake of doing it. Also repeatedly showing in an on-off way was really distracting specially when they were not relevant.

The trainers are rushing through concepts. Not many industry examples to support the concepts. Even the concepts are not convincing enough. Most of the information was very general and obvious. However, the trainer was articulate in speech.

Métodos de explicación confusos, muchas encuestas y lecturas mal traducidas; además de los cuestionarios que aceptan cierta palabra que no funciona si traduces

Hard to follow for non-native speakers. Especially week 2. There are a lot better Courses on Entrepreneurship on Coursera. Especially the Technion ones.

Quizzes are broken and inconsistent. Several time I failed a test, retook it and put in the same answers and then passed the test at 100%. I reported and issue with one of the tests that I can't pass . I have studied and looked up all the answers to make sure they are correct and the current quiz is keeping me at a 75% (not passing). I've gotten zero response about this reported broken test. Do not waste your money on this course.

I have not tried other courses on the Coursera site but if this is any indication to what it provides, I'll not be continuing my online studies through Coursera.

Peer review is very difficult process. Instead, the most difficult quiz option would be more relevant. The course content includes a practical approach for developing the entrepreneurial mindset. Focus on understanding and inculcating the course content, assignments are just a proof for issuing the certificate.

It will be hard to finish the course because no one is reviewing your submissions. The course itself is helpful. But I am disappointed that I finished the course but do not get the certificate because of no reviews from other learners from the course...

The quizzes keep glitching and showing options out of order. The slides are poorly formatted and hard to follow, and the wording of the assignments is too vague to properly apply the concepts and show retention.

So many PDF files , Before starting the course, they give us a job that is difficult to perform and requires peer evaluation

Unfortunately, a failed experiment

There are so many people cheating in this specialization, it's a total joke. Very disappointing.

Googling this would be more beneficial.
