You don’t need a million-dollar idea, rich parents or years of experience to start a business — you need the right mindset and the skills you’re already building right now.
In this talk, entrepreneur Renee Overton-Palma shares her real, unfiltered journey from corporate life to business ownership and breaks down how everyday experiences — classes, group projects, internships, part-time jobs, leadership roles and even side hustles — are quietly training you to be an entrepreneur.
You’ll learn how 10 powerful soft skills you’re already developing (like communication, problem-solving, adaptability, leadership and resilience) can be used to launch and grow a business of your own.
