International University of Entreprenology

These skills – and the resultant principles – build the robust real-world platform upon which entreprenology is established. That’s the primary reason that we chose to feature them at this juncture. Over time, we have learned that the successful and/or success oriented entreprenologist taps into these principles daily. At the IUE, our approach to education for a creative life is to embed:

​

POSSIBILITIES – The ability to accept Possibilities is an indispensable natural capacity that allows one to take on the potential Possibilities associated with engineering a dream or vision into reality. To accept the Possibilities of creating something new:

• be it fiscal, material, operational, regulatory, psychological, etc., and,

• to face and manage any outcome up to and including loss of status and/or denunciation of character.2

CREATIVITY – The process of visualizing and developing a new product or service that did not exist prior to your having conceived it. Originating something to fill an existing gap.

​

IMAGINATION – Arguably one of the most important of all intrinsic skills. It allows you the freedom to discover, explore and go far beyond the outer reaches of human knowledge. It allows you to “boldly go where no man – or woman - has gone before.”

MOTIVATION – The internal mechanism that alerts you to the fact that something is worth doing and that YOU are the right person to do it.

​

INDEPENDENCE – The recognition that you not only have what it takes to do things on your own, but that, in many instances, you prefer doing so. “If there is an answer to be found, I will find it!”

​

COMMON SENSE – A phrase or expression most often associated with common sense is, “the ability to hear and listen to your inner-voice.” It is the personal inner guide that instinctively cautions you to “look both ways before you cross a busy street.” It is something you were taught, in all likelihood by your mother, that is the definition of common sense.

​

PERSPECTIVE – The point of view that you acquire, through your own unique accrual of knowledge and experience, from which you converse, discuss, offer opinions and/or support your ideas.

​

SIMPLICITY – Defining and working with fundamentals while simultaneously eliminating needless complexity. To put it in a phrase, “The fewer the moving parts, the less likely a costly breakdown becomes.”

​

OBSERVATION – The art of being wholly aware of that which exists with your immediate sphere of life and influence. Having a working knowledge of that which is taking place all around you.

​

PERSEVERANCE – If you fall 9 times, you have the will to get up 10 times. If you fall 10 times, you have the will to get back up 11 times if you must, and so on and so on. You get the idea. It is the intrinsic sense that says, “In spite of any odds you might perceive to the contrary, you SHALL eventually succeed!”
