This free online course begins by defining ‘intuition’ as part of ‘tacit knowledge’ as we demonstrate its importance to entrepreneurs. We analyze the role of learned experience in making quick choices and how to contrast rational and intuitive decision-making. We then show you how to tap into your intuition to guide your business to success.

The course then investigates the personality traits and abilities unique to most entrepreneurs. We show you how to develop trust by being authentic and honest when pitching ideas to potential investors. We then examine the ‘thirteen dimensions’ of talent management as they are great predictors of performance that you will need to master if you are to take on a managerial role in your organization. We then consider what motivates entrepreneurs to succeed as we establish the importance of resourcefulness and self-efficacy (self-belief).

We then discuss the need to practice patience and overcome your fear of failure and ‘entrepreneurial grief’. The course demonstrates the need for flexibility and adaptability as you develop the ‘agile’ mindset required to succeed. We show you how to reach a mental ‘flow state’ (being ‘in the zone’) to increase performance. We then conclude with analysis of inspiration as we break down how entrepreneurs are driven to transform ideas into products and problems into solutions. This course suits anyone looking to start their own business or work as a freelancer.
