The Enterprise Tuesday talk series resumes on 4 February 2025 at Cambridge Judge Business School.

Entrepreneurs and innovators, often spend considerable time focused on business model strategies, funding, and go-to-market plans, but they frequently overlook the importance of resilience. Research has consistently shown that resilience is a key predictor of entrepreneurial success and entrepreneurs with high levels of resilience were more likely to achieve their goals. Additionally, they tend to report higher levels of job satisfaction. 

Entrepreneurship is a constant cycle of successes and setbacks so founders must be able to adapt in the face of constant change. Cultivating resilience is essential for entrepreneurs as it enhances the ability to navigate both the personal and professional challenges associated with starting and growing a venture. Resilient entrepreneurs are more adept at recovering from setbacks, ensuring they remain flexible and responsive.

In this session, we discuss the importance of developing resilience, viewing challenges and setbacks as opportunities for learning and growth rather than personal failures.
