From Idea to Impact: Your Complete Entrepreneurial Guide
These days, the term entrepreneur is as much a career as it is a lifestyle. By definition, an entrepreneur is someone who creates a new business, product or service, bearing most of the risks and enjoying most of the rewards. But now, people in any profession are thinking outside of the box, trying to find new and better ways to conduct business, create opportunities and live their lives.
To help you along on your entrepreneurial journey, the Yeshiva University Sy Syms School of Business created “The Essential Toolkit for Aspiring Entrepreneurs.” Full of insider wisdom and learning tools, and informed by successful self-starters from Sy Syms, this free entrepreneurship guide is an invaluable supplement to your planned or ongoing enterprise-focused work.
Included in this toolkit:

How to Become an Entrepreneur
Important Skills and Considerations
Creating your own business requires more than a good sales pitch. Some personality traits, such as independence and self-motivation, are helpful in entrepreneurship, but there are several other specialized skills that are essential to transform your vision into a profitable business. These skills are not easily taught, but can be learned when you immerse yourself in an entrepreneurial-focused degree program.
Key entrepreneurial skills:
- Communication
- Attention to detail
- Time management
- Strategic business planning
- Adaptability
- Mental focus
Bridging Business Gaps with Advanced Education
An MBA degree is so well-known and renowned because of its tangible and multifaceted applications. Trained in several areas of business, you’ll be able to wield your knowledge and provide value almost anywhere. You’ll also gain a built-in network of professionals who share your motivations and can connect you to business resources. Finally, an MBA program gives you an outlet to test new ideas and run risk assessments in a secure environment with real-time feedback from peers and faculty.
