Entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship policies have a common goal—to spur entrepreneurial activity and its impact on individuals, organizations, regions and countries. Despite the efforts of education and policy in equipping entrepreneurs with the skills, resources and competencies they need to thrive, rich and poignant research in the entrepreneurship literature highlights the daunting emotional challenges confronting entrepreneurs as they traverse the entrepreneurial journey. However, the insights, findings and conclusions from this literature have yet to find their way into providing entrepreneurs with the requisite emotional skills and tools needed to harness the opportunities afforded from entrepreneurship rather than succumb as a victim. This paper analyzes the potential for translational research to develop educational and policy approaches, along with clinical tools, methods and strategies to provide entrepreneurs with the skills and competencies for resilience in an entrepreneurial journey fraught with emotional landmines and challenges.

创业教育和创业政策有一个共同的目标——刺激创业活动及其对个人、组织、地区和国家的影响。尽管教育和政策努力为企业家提供他们茁壮成长所需的技能、资源和能力，但企业家文学中丰富而深刻的研究突显了企业家在穿越创业旅程时所面临的艰巨的情感挑战。然而，这些文献的见解、发现和结论尚未找到为企业家提供必要的情感技能和工具的方法，以利用企业家精神提供的机会，而不是屈服于受害者。
