“College and post-college can become a jumbled and confusing road. But the structure from Making Waves makes it all possible," shared Abraham Jenkins Segura. A first-gen grad who earned his degree from San Francisco State University this spring, Abraham shared: “All the support from Making Waves makes a difference – the scholarship, the coaching, the financial guidance has all motivated me further.” When Abraham started college, he chose business administration as his major, inspired by his family’s entrepreneurial spirit and their small business in San Francisco. “I was motivated because of the practicality of a business degree." “But I felt like I was missing something. I really wanted to do more art. That is my passion," shared Abraham who created a plan to marry his two interests with a double major in business and design. "I’ve learned so much about management and design and how I want to pursue both further," Abraham shared. "I was always passionate about art, specifically illustration. It helps me express myself and create pieces that others find value in.” “Making Waves provided me guidance for challenging financial situations and the opportunity to pursue my passions." 🎉🎉 Congratulations, Abraham! We're excited to see where your passions take you next!

Expensive programs resembling university education focus on execution beyond lectures, emphasizing the challenge of post-launch coordination and optimization for entrepreneurial success. Curated by Martin R Ricketts In my view, many expensive programs, some costing up to $100,000, are similar to university education. Prestigious schools like M.I.T have excellent teachers, but the real challenge is what happens after the classes. It's essential to apply what you've learned, which goes beyond just attending lectures and taking notes. The execution phase is demanding. It requires understanding and communicating with outsourcers. While these programs teach how to find outsourcers, the real task is in coordinating and asking the right questions, which is quite challenging. Often young entrepreneurs don't even know what they don't know. What many don't realize is the most crucial part is what happens after you've launched. I've seen many people use all the tools and practices provided, but fail to generate traction or revenue despite their best efforts. Our guide on the ride-based production services is designed to iterate solutions, measure, evaluate and optimize based on facts on the ground. Do Work You Love. Monetize Your Story.

Perceived behavioral traits as key determinants of entrepreneurial intention in higher education institutions This article examines how a business school's environment encourages the formation of entrepreneurial intentions among its students. Building on insights from the theory of planned behaviour and the business event model, a structural equation model was applied on a sample of 283 Costa Rican university students. The main results of the study suggest that the entrepreneurial training provided by the business school contributes to improve students' entrepreneurial intentions. However, this effect develops through an indirect mechanism: that is, entrepreneurial training positively influences students’ attitudes toward entrepreneurship which, in turn, impact students’ perception on entrepreneurial self-efficacy. https://lnkd.in/etfiBkDW

The first 2 years were the worst phase for our business What you see today is 3.5 million subscribers on YouTube, giving talks at major events, closing deals, and whatnot! 👉 But there was also a time where we spent sleepless nights thinking about how to get more students, grow our business, and provide the students with what they deserve. Think School ® wasn’t a success from Day 1. Me and Ganeshprasad S started with no degree in teaching or business. All we had was a great idea and the zeal to keep going. We faced a lot of hurdles - limited funds, college bureaucracy, Covid, etc. But there were times which were hardest of all. And I believe it’s those times that made us grow stronger as a team. 👉 One of the most demotivating situations for us was when we used to go on our bikes from college to college to secure free sessions that would help the students. But the college bureaucracy blocked it. But, we never lost hope. :) 👉 The students wanted our sessions and it was the need of the hour for them. But the college associates didn’t approve of it then which became our concern looking at how negatively it’s affecting the students. 👉 To start with our business and to help the students, we were willing to give it for free and it would even be added in their gallery of activities. But instead, we were asked to pay them for this. Despite the challenges and hurdles that came our way, we kept believing in our vision to create a School that every individual deserves. And that’s what Think School will always be. Back then we taught at an offline school, and now we are using the power of the Internet. 📌 How have you shaped yourself from tough times? #toughtimes #nevergiveup
