Week 7

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 up and from us being willing to go the extra mile to become great. I can apply this in my life by always doing wat I know I need to do, and never doing those things that will go against my personal commitment to be better. I know that if I want to be successful in life that I need to always stick to my personal constitution and that way I will not steer away from the things that I know I need to do. I need to stick to my morals and stick to the way I do my business dealings. I liked this week and I know that I need to always apply these in my life to make sure that I can hit my fullest potential.

Week 6

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...

Week 9

Week 9 we talked about how well we need to prepare for the future. We talked about successful businessman and successful businesswomen who know how to have success. They are able to have the amount of success needed to provide for not only themselves but also the rest of their family for the rest of their life. We also finalized and made sure that we had the amount of money needed to be able to donate to kiva which is the place that you can donate money to help out investors and entrepreneurs from around the world in third world countries. We chose to help people in Paraguay with food. It will help those who might not be able to afford their own food. I know that that would be so hard if you couldn't afford food. Food is a necessity of life, and without food you cannot survive, let alone be an entrepreneur. I also learned a lot of motivational tools that can help me to be successful in my own life. This is important because when I am successful, then I am able to create opportuniti...

Week 12: The Last Lecture

Being an entrepreneur is not a small task. It is not something to be taken lightly, and it is not something that you can just jump straight into. If you fall into that track, then you will fall straight onto your face down the road. It will not go well for you. Being an entrepreneur takes a lot of hard work and more importantly, it takes a lot of long planning. As far as direction goes, I think that I would definitely recommend to find a book or two or three on how to start out being an entrepreneur. That will be a great guide for you in your path to becoming one. There are a few different types of entrepreneurs too. You can start up your own company or business, which is the most typical way, but there are also buying into a franchise or buying an existing company. Those are two other ways that I have learned, and each of those have their upsides and their downsides. Franchises can be great because you won’t have to start up anything. It will already be there and will b...
