Abstract

The project examines the entrepreneurial mindset of undergraduate college students through convenience sampling, selecting participants who are readily accessible, such as peers on campus. This method enables efficient data collection and provides preliminary insights into students’ entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviors. The entrepreneurial mindset encompasses traits like creativity, risk-taking, resilience, and opportunity recognition, which are crucial for initiating and sustaining business ventures. Understanding and fostering this mindset encourages students to be proactive, embrace challenges, and innovate, thereby enhancing their potential to create successful startups or contribute meaningfully within organizations. While convenience sampling may limit the broader applicability of the findings, it offers valuable information that can inform the development of programs aimed at cultivating entrepreneurship in higher education settings.
