Our Manifesto
WE BELIEVE
In people – no two are alike.
Everyone is gifted. Your gift is not for you.
Serving others with your gift is the purpose of work.
Fulfillment is found in passionately serving others to solve problems.
We are all created to be creative.
We are all designed for a unique purpose – that can be discovered.
We are all capable of greatness – if it can be unlocked.
Leaders are servants with integrity, humility, and transparency.
Integrity is what you do when no one is watching.
Ownership is about taking responsibility.
Wisdom is found in collaboration.
Collaboration brings the greatest gains.
People are the greatest asset.
Relationships are the greatest wealth.
Failure is the greatest teacher.
Failure is only failure if you learn nothing from it.
Learning from failure is achieved through open and honest communication.
Destiny is something to be achieved – not waited for.
Destiny is gained through the daily grind to establish the vision.
Destiny is a team sport.
The potential of humanity is unleashed when we work together to solve the problems of the world.

Our History
The Leadership Institute For Entrepreneurs (LIFE) was birthed out of a desire to equip growth-oriented entrepreneurs with the tools they need to de-risk the startup, grow their business, and scale successfully.
Our search led us to MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). MIT’s Global Entrepreneurship Bootcamp provided the skills and learning environment we were looking for to equip the next generation of business leaders. The MIT Bootcamp provides a rapid, just-in-time, value based immersion experience. Following completion of the MIT MOOCs (massive open online courses), the student Global Entrepreneurship Bootcamp and the instructor Bootcamp, we set our sights on launching the LIFE Entrepreneurship Boot Camp prototype.
Our Track Record
25+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE | 3000 BUSINESSES STARTED | 40 COUNTRIES | 73% SUSTAINABILITY RATE
The first LIFE Entrepreneurship Boot Camp (LEB) launched on Oct 17-21, 2016 in Colorado Springs, CO. With the help of MITx as a knowledge partner, our goal was to try and replicate the MIT experience. The LEB launch was attended by 18 students from 6 countries and supported by 4 mentors (2 were MIT GEB Alumni) and 5 Demo Day judges, 3 being investors. Our Demo Day winning team was approached the following week for investment by one of the investors. We are off to a running start and will continue to iterate the LIFE Entrepreneurship Boot Camp and whole product solution with our customers as we move forward. Our hope is to expand globally as fast as we can train our Certified Instructor Team and find quality international partners and event hosts.
