The Ice House Entrepreneurship Program is a revolutionary new online learning program designed to inspire and engage participants in the fundamental concepts of an entrepreneurial mindset and the unlimited opportunities it can provide.

The Book: Based on the personal experience of author Clifton Taulbert, Who Owns the Icehouse? is a powerful and compelling story that draws on the entrepreneurial influence and eight essential life-lessons Taulbert gained from his Uncle Cleve, an unlikely entrepreneur in the segregated South.

The Course: Based on the eight life-lessons described in the book, the interactive online program combines narrated chalkboard presentations with video interviews and case studies featuring modern-day examples of those who, like Taulbert’s Uncle Cleve, have triumphed over hardship and adversity by embracing an entrepreneurial mindset.

On Feb 28-Mar 1 I will be participating in the course at the Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City.  I am eager to learn more about the program and see if it is something with potential for rural communities in Texas.  I am in the middle of the book right now.  It has some very good ideas for aspiring entrepreneurs to consider and some personal characteristics one should have for successful entrepreneurship.  I will report back soon with results of my trip.
