“An entrepreneur needs to be able to accept constructive criticism and listen to other teammates’ input,” she said. “Through BizWorld, I learned to work as a team and listen to other teammates’ ideas. If you get along with others, you will get more done with your company.” Through the BizWorld+ program (formerly BizWorldPRO) Emily, a 6th grade student at White Cliffs Middle School in Arizona, learned the key factors of being a successful entrepreneur. Help us bring more entrepreneurial educator to young people world wide! Learn more about BizWorld+ here, https://lnkd.in/dNc6hxbv #BizWorldid8 #YouthInnovation #BizWorld
