Institute for Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurial Education Partner
“When an entrepreneur fails, they start again the next day.”
In today’s session with Mark Rauschert, President of Midwest Control Products, we took a bit of a dive into “Entrepreneurship 101” - exploring what it takes to think and act like an entrepreneur and business owner.
We started out with a tour of the downtown plant and operations, and then settled in for some discussion about the traits and qualities entrepreneurs typically possess. Mark talked through each student’s business idea, providing feedback and support. He is always ready to provide encouragement, and we always appreciate the time he spends with us!
