"Too often the focus on entrepreneurship rests on the mechanics of starting and growing a business. What ELI has done with Mindset is help prepare the entrepreneur with what has to come from within; namely, courage, perseverance, and optimism. If it were up to me, anyone even considering something entrepreneurial would start here."
