    The course helps you in understanding different topics that is relevant when you are planning for new entrepreneurial opportunities. The topic ranges from having Entrepreneurial mindset, motivation to then transform to entrepreneur behavior. How to then see and act entrepreneurially accordingly. It also focuses on what factors to be considered when pitching into the market namely industry status , industry condition, macroeconomic condition, competition ,value curve, right team building and finally leading to opportunity identification. Course is very well balanced with real life examples. The contents are very relevant though the examples in the videos are bit outdated which could be worked on.

    It is perfectly ok to get into a class after reading about the topic which will be discussed. Nonetheless, the videos in this course are basically the book you are supposed to read, but exposed by the author. The videos should involve the readings, but the content should be different than the readings. If not, the videos become worthless.
