2. 360-Degree Self-evaluation

Being successful at business requires us to understand who we are first. The better you know yourself the easier it becomes to set goals and achieve them. There has to be an alignment of your personal values and ethics with your business goals otherwise you may struggle to become an entrepreneur. In this module we take a look at the self in a very reflective way to understand what our values and ethics mean and what our sense is of right and wrong. We will then go complete a self-reflection exercise which will provide us with an insight into “who we are”. But first let’s take a look at the video below by Ashton Kutcher.
