"Difference Making at the Heart of Learning: Students, Schools, and Communities Alive with Possibility" by Tom Vander Ark and Emily Liebtag (2021) (http://bit.do/fP26c) "For some, building social capital and creating a culture and curriculum of contribution may cut against the grain of the American tradition of personal identity and autonomy. It's less familiar than the pursuit of individual gain. But ironically, it's clear that contribution is the superpower of the innovation economy. It is learning how to make a difference that builds value for individuals and communities" (p. 62).

Being an entrepreneur isn't just about starting a business. It's about solving challenges. That's according to the Entrepreneurial Learning Initiative's Gary Schoeniger. Their upcoming webinar series, "Entrepreneurship In Education" focuses on improving what kids learn by changing how they learn.
Voices of eLearning took on the topic of entrepreneurial mindsets with a pioneer in the field, Gary Schoeniger, Founder and CEO of Entrepreneurial Learning Initiative (ELI). ELI offers training and development to educators, students, and businesses. The idea for ELI started 30 years ago with Schoeniger asking, “How do underdogs win?”That set him on a path to decode the entrepreneurial mindset. Schoeniger started interviewing everyday entrepreneurs and began to see patterns in their behavior and language. “I came to this definition of entrepreneurship; the self-directed pursuit of opportunities to create value for others, which empowers ourselves,” he said. Schoeniger's philosophies and teaching don't mean everyone should start a business. It's about opportunity. “The world is full of opportunities. They are easy to overlook because we're not trained to think this way,” he added. That mindset, a deeply held unconscious belief system, starts from a young age. Someone else determines what is useful and what is necessary to learn to be successful. In speaking about and to educators, Schoeniger offered a view of a fundamental shift. “Stop asking kids what they want to be and ask them what problems they want to solve. When students can identify problems in their community and can work on solutions, they become very engaged.” How can educators drive an entrepreneurial mindset? Schoeniger thinks it's a combination of teaching and modeling it. “There's an outdated understanding of behaviorist thinking as motivation. Learning is an extrinsic reward or punishment. What matters is do people have a compelling goal.”

For this week's podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Gary Schoeniger, founder of the Entrepreneurial Learning Initiative. Gary has a really interesting story -- from dead broke desperate handyman to successful entrepreneur. Over the last 15 years, he has interviewed hundreds of successful entrepreneurs to discover which skills are critical for starting and running a business. Many are not what you think. My favorite advice from the interview: "Find a problem. Figure out how to solve the problem. Find more people with the same problem and you have a business." I like that Gary's views make me think. I have been in "do what you love (and work and work and work and work) and the money will follow" mode for so long that the "problem/solution" model was very intriguing.
