B183 Intro to Entrepreneurship

In introduction to entrepreneurship this week we talked about motivation. We talked about why things need to happen in order to bring to pass other things in our life. We also talked about why those things happen. I got out of this class period that things don’t always go as you plan, and that is okay. If things don’t, then you just need to shake it off and have that persistence and motivation to keep going through life. This will create a work drive that is unparalleled. Steve jobs is a great example of this, because when he started his company, he built it in such a way that he ended up getting fired from it. He then came back, and joined in. He could have given up, but then he didn’t want to. He instead persevered and got through it to eventually climb back up the ladder to the top of Apple. And look how successful he was in doing so! I think that we all need to learn from his example and persevere to become the greatest that we can possibly become. This will come from us not giving...

Week 6 was mainly about being able to know when to and when not to take risks. Risks can be all good or all bad, depending on what way you look at it. Risk taking is important because if you do not ever take risks, then you will not ever be able to survive in the real world. Surviving in the real world needs to have risks accosted with it because if you do not take them, then you will never have the chance to grow or to learn. Growing and learning are key characteristics of becoming a successful entrepreneur. If they are scared to take any risks at all, then they will not be able to see the big picture and therefore will not be able to have the most about of money made, or change made, or whatever their goal is as an entrepreneur. Risk taking is vital to success. We learned that when we are willing to risk things, tat we are also therefore willing to risk the amount of space needed to grow. These risks could be money, they could be time, they could be employees hired, they could be a n...

This week in into to entrepreneurship, we talked about yet another topic that we need to always be focusing on as entrepreneurs. This week we focused on our personal constitution. The personal constitution is the thing that we create that describes our personal morals and the personal habits that we will always be doing as a businessman or businesswoman. Some of these things that we are doing are the way that we will treat our employees and our coworkers. Things like "I will always..." and "I will never..." . Those things are the things that will define us in the future and will define us in our current lives as well. This is the way that we will succeed in our lives. If we focus on getting as much money as we possibly can, then we will ultimately fail in our life and we will not get even close to our ultimate goals that we have for ourselves. Personal constitutions will always be our keystone in our foundation of our character. This is the best way to do it because...

Week four. I can't believe how fast this semester is already going by. This week we talked about setting goals. Setting goals is vital to becoming successful in this life and in the career as an entrepreneur. Being able to set good goals means setting goals that will stretch you, but also ones that will be able to be achievable. If one sets a goal that is unachievable, then they will become discouraged and they will not be able to set meaningful goals in the future. I think that when I am setting goals in the future as a business owner, then I will be able to set financial goals as well as other types of goals. Goals are vital because if we do not stretch ourselves then we will not get better and we will not grow as an individual and as a business or a company. We talked about personal goals and about goals that we can set emotionally and spiritually. Moral goals are important because when we decide to make moral goals now in the form of a personal constitution, then we will hold o...
