As important as Entrepreneurism is, where does
society, by education and training, certify
entrepreneurs?
Interestingly, in countries were entrepreneurism is not
prevalent, other certifications do NOT exist.
In 2011, the capstone certification of Entrepreneurism
is missing!

- 11. Pillar #3 - Conclusions
The optimal path does exist
There are common elements to the
development of every idea
Entrepreneurs MUST be counseled and
advised to know how to stay as close to the
optimal path as possible
Any deviation off the path consumes precious
TIME, MONEY, and ENERGY

- 12. Pillar #4 Each Optimal Path is Unique
Priority of variables that make each path unique:
1. Sphere of Influence
2. Education
3. Experience
4. Level of Preliminary Funding
5. Industry of the Idea – NAICS
6. Product or Service or Product and Service
7. Country where the idea will be developed
8. State or province of idea development
These are some of the top elements of uniqueness

- 16. Pillar #5 - Conclusion
Experience can be addressed by bringing a subset
of the right people forward at the right time
There is NO substitute for core things that the
entrepreneur MUST understand (education)
Entrepreneurs do not know what they do not
know; many of them they think they know it all
and this can be a HUGE barrier to success
