Have you thought about entering the start-up world, launching your own business or scaling the one you have? Do you know you can study to become a successful entrepreneur?
The future is right up ahead, and these days it’s more about people creating their own businesses than it is about studying for five years to look for a job. Here is where The Academy of Entrepreneurs (AE) comes in. They will take you on the most empowering entrepreneurial journey in just one year!
According to Brian Rashid from Forbes, it is estimated that 50% of the workforce will be freelancers and Business Owners by 2020. The old economy makes you believe that you should get one job, work hard for the next 40 years, and then retire to enjoy your life. In the new economy, full of enthusiastic entrepreneurs, the more skills you develop, the more opportunities will come to you.
What is an entrepreneur?
An entrepreneur is one who builds, organises, runs and assumes all the risk and reward of a given business venture, idea, good or service. Entrepreneurs are reshaping the economy and society! Aren’t you curious about being one of us?
What makes it so wonderful to study in AE?
Entrepreneurs themselves teach classes and workshops at AE; real entrepreneurs that have launched, built and scaled successful start-ups and businesses around the world.
The equivalent courses in any University around Australia are taught by professors that never created a company from the ground. So, don’t you think this is the best option ever?
At AE, they firmly believe that the only way to learn entrepreneurship is by being surrounded and mentored by entrepreneurs (not via books and old-school teachers).
