Book Description
Did you know that only 9 percent of all students who attend entrepreneurship classes intend to be an entrepreneur immediately following graduation? Some may hear that and think something is wrong, not knowing that this is simply a part of the journey. The goal of entrepreneurship education shouldn't be to push groups of students towards their first start-up business idea or garage-based tech company. It should foster a special skillset that will enable them to excel in whatever field they choose. Birgitte Wraae's The Entrepreneurial Learning Journey and Back Again: Conversations with Entrepreneurship Educators from around the World is a book by educators, for educators, students and entrepreneurs alike, focusing on what they can do to strengthen that skillset. Through data and interviews with nineteen established entrepreneurial educators based all over the world, you will find diverse points of view as well as tools and tips to help you build your students up. Whether it is incorporating reflections in the classroom, or simply learning and using every student's name, each and every step in the journey counts. If you are an entrepreneurship educator or are looking to break into the field, Birgitte Wraae's The Entrepreneurial Learning Journey and Back Again is a must-read.

Book Description
This book explores how entrepreneurship education can be embedded throughout the learner’s lifetime. To date, entrepreneurship education has tended to begin on an ad hoc basis at the higher education level: some institutions offer it as an elective or compulsory course, while others offer it as a degree program. In most countries, entrepreneurship has not yet been widely adopted in the core curriculum, and formal entrepreneurship education is almost exclusively offered to young learners. In addition to presenting critical views on who can benefit from entrepreneurship education, including children/schoolchildren, students in higher education and older people, the book proposes a model of holistic entrepreneurship education to promote a lifelong learning journey for educators and learners alike.

Book Description
Of all the great Western novelists of the twentieth century, the German writer Hermann Hesse is arguably one of the most important for educationists. Paying particular attention to Hesse’s last novel, The Glass Bead Game, and its immediate predecessor, The Journey to the East, this book suggests that Hesse was a man of the West who turned to the idea of ‘the East’ in seeking to understand himself and his society. From these later texts a rich, complex theory of educational transformation emerges. From West to East and Back Again examines the role of dialogue and uncertainty in the transformative process, considers utopian and ritualistic elements in Hesse’s work, and explores the notion of education serving as a bridge between life and death. Hesse’s novels address philosophical themes and questions of enduring significance, and this book will appeal to all who share an interest in human striving and growth.

Book Description
This book comes from my desire to help you become a more successful entrepreneur. I have designed this book to help you learn how to develop your ideas into opportunities. This book is different from other textbooks, in that it will not teach you about entrepreneurship, but instead, you will learn to become an entrepreneur. Therefore, the book is designed as a workbook with concrete activities to help build your entrepreneurial ability. The book is comprised of 14 challenges. Spend 5 hours on each activity and you will develop your entrepreneurial knowledge, skills, and abilities. My approach for this book is based on the growing academic research that demonstrates the effectiveness of using problem-based learning to help students construct knowledge. In other words, you learn by doing as you attempt to solve real problems. This book is designed to help you and other budding entrepreneurs develop your ideas into opportunities. The focus of this book is the entrepreneurship startup phase. Research indicates that by practicing entrepreneurship, you can learn to become a more effective entrepreneur. What distinguishes this book from other textbooks is that students actually practice being entrepreneurs, rather than learn about entrepreneurship. This book will not teach you about entrepreneurship it will teach you to be an entrepreneur. As such the book is designed as a workbook with activities to learn entrepreneurship, a journal so that you can write and reflect on your entrepreneurial journey, and a textbook to help you determine the concepts of entrepreneurship. The book has 14 challenges. After you complete these challenges, you will have gained the entrepreneurial confidence and ability to make you a more effective entrepreneur. And yes, you can start a business with $1.00. I have facilitated the learning of hundreds of students in this $1.00 journey, and it works.I have been using a problem-based approach for teaching and learning about entrepreneurship for almost 10 years. I have noticed and quantified that students are more entrepreneurial after completing the activities in this book. I looked around for a textbook that actually teaches students how to be entrepreneurs. I could not find one, so I wrote this workbook to you on your entrepreneurial journey. About Me: As a college student, I started my own business, called South of the Border Imports. The front cover is a polaroid of my first craft fair. At 20, I hopped in my car, drove from Canada to Mexico, and bought handicrafts and drove back to Canada. On the way down, I slept in my car and on the way back I slept on top of my car. The photo of the cover is my first craft fair. Reflecting on my experiences, I did not know what I did not know about successfully starting and running a business. I learned by doing. I successfully ran my business for 21 years prior to selling it. My business was successful and well known in the community and nationally. As a result, I was invited to give guest lectures and eventually to teach a course on new venture development. I enjoyed teaching, so after I sold my business I decided to pursue teaching entrepreneurship as a second career. I wanted to be an effective professor, so I returned to continue my studies at the London School of Economics and a doctorate from the University of Manchester in the UK. I continue to focus on improving my ability as a professor to teach nascent entrepreneurs. This book is the result of my professional, academic, and teaching experiences on how to most effectively teach entrepreneurship. My goal for this book is that you learn to become a successful entrepreneur. Essentially, develop the ability to transform your often-vague ideas into entrepreneurial opportunities. I designed the DYME model (Develop Your Model of Entrepreneurship) based on my personal experiences as an entrepreneur, research how to develop entrepreneurial abilities in students, and my experiences.

Book Description
Join self-made billionaire David Green, founder of America's craft store giant Hobby Lobby, as he shares the key to building a powerful legacy: generosity. In Giving It All Away…and Getting It All Back Again, Green unpacks time-tested principles that will help you reap the benefits of generosity for multiple generations to come. In 1970, David Green began making picture frames in his garage. With hard work, he and his wife, Barbara, turned that humble beginning into the world's largest privately owned arts-and-crafts retailer, employing forty-three thousand people across nine hundred stores in forty-seven states. But it's not all about business. Giving It All Away…and Getting It All Back Again--part memoir, part personal manifesto--will change the way you think about prosperity, teaching you that true wealth is about more than money. It's about growing your faith, your family, and your intellectual capital alongside your bank account. Green also reminds us that it's not just giving that sets the foundation for financial freedom. Practicing good stewardship also helps us pass on our values and set good examples for future generations. As Hobby Lobby has grown, Green has stayed true to this philosophy by adhering to three key principles: Work with all your heart for God and not for men Think ahead, but hold your plans lightly--you don't know what God has in store for you Consider what you want your legacy to be Follow Green as he invites you to see that a life marked by generosity can also be a life full of adventure--a life that pays the best rewards, changes the lives of those around you, and gives you the tools you need to leave a lasting legacy.
