About Workshop:
Having an entrepreneurial mindset means having a hopeful outlook. Set small, achievable goals to get things started, stay positive by being thankful, and take care of yourself by exercising or practising mindfulness. Developing a mindset that views failures as opportunities to learn keeps you hopeful, which in turn leads to greater resilience, creativity, and a more profound sense of purpose in business.
