CFL Entrepreneurship: HEI (Hope Entrepreneurship Initiative)

CFL engages students in the "lean startup" process to help them obtain the grounding, experiences, and tools to determine if entrepreneurship is their calling.

What We Offer: 


Self-Reflection Questions: Is This You?
  1. I plan to start my own business.
  2. I will invent something that changes the world.
  3. My mind never stops.
  4. I never give up.
  5. I am not afraid to take risks even if I might fail.
  6. I want to be my own boss.
  7. I am currently interning with a local business.
  8. I run my own business now.
