This year’s TEDxBowValleyCollege theme was Lagom: Life. Simply. For many, the idea of entrepreneurship is not one we would associate with balance. Long hours building one’s product and business can seem counter intuitive to the concept of lagom. However, a lagom approach to ourselves can foster resilience, which is a critical factor in successful entrepreneurship.  Craig Elias examines at how entrepreneurs can find a balance, by making a difference while making a living.  
 Craig is the Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Bow Valley College. He was recently awarded a global award of excellence for student entrepreneurship activities, in Australia. Craig is always striving to maintain lagom in his work by balancing short-term needs and a long-term goals. For Craig, balance is about helping students while still finding time to network with existing industry experts, to assist in fostering an even more successful cohort of student entrepreneurs. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
