In my soon to be released book Vision to Decision: A Self-Coaching Guide to Starting a New Business. I talk a lot about the value of consciously building a business that honors your deeply held values.
In the course of my research, I learned a great deal about my own deeply held values and one of my core values is a love of learning.
I love learning, particularly learning about business and entrepreneurship. That is why I was particularly excited to learn about Coursera a free on-line education platform that partners with top universities to offer all sorts of courses in all sorts of languages – for free!
Their course catalogue is extensive. How about a course on the history of marriage in the movies?
But let’s keep our focus. Coursera’s business offerings include some great topics.
One course I plan to take begins this coming Monday, March 16, 2015: Innovation for Entrepreneurs: From Idea to Marketplace.
Coursera also offers: Entrepreneurship: Launching an Innovative Business. This multi-course specialization consist of three courses and a capstone project. The content promises to help you create a new business, compete for funding and apply your newly acquired skills in a capstone project.
The specialization series is not free but at $49 per course or $196 for three courses and the capstone project, it is certainly affordable. Who knows, your capstone project could be the start of your brilliant new business.
