MQ Incubator Lunch & Learn | Where Do I Start? Cultivating an Entrepreneurial Mindset Through Self-Leadership

Everyone talks about building a business. Few talk about building yourself first.

Self-leadership is the practice of guiding your own thoughts, energy, and actions toward purposeful growth—especially when no one’s watching. It’s the inner foundation of every bold idea that actually takes flight.

This unapologetically bold session flips the script. You don’t need a perfect pitch deck—you need clarity, courage, and a fierce commitment to your future self. In one energising hour, we’ll explore how self-leadership is the ultimate entrepreneurial power move.

You’ll walk away with:

• A 20-year future vision that actually excites you

• A map of your strengths and creative edge

• Awareness of the you that you’re ready to lead, and your goals for growth

• A simple, smart life-and-work strategy—designed backwards

• A mindset shift from “What should I do?” to “Who am I becoming?”

If you're done with surface-level hacks and ready to do the inner work that fuels real impact—this is where you start.
