Entrepreneurial Blog#1

This week was an introduction to the course going into the grading and what we should expect to gain from the class as a whole. One of my favorite things that I ended up learning was how this course was meant as a way to develop my life plan before I go and develop a business plan. In the future, I believe that this is useful advice for just about anything. We need to have a good life plan before going and trying to attempt and do something that we are just not ready for. Taking the time to set up for success is exactly what more of us need to do to have more success in the long run.

Something that interested me quite a bit when going through the syllabus is how we will have the opportunity to interview an entrepreneur mentor and come up with 5 different questions to ask them just about anything. However, we should not just be wasting their for me I want to try my best to come up with a group of 5 questions that will benefit me but the mentor will also be interested in and like to answer. A lot of times when going into interviews we can often get wrapped up in trying to find questions that are basic and get straight to the point but if I can have questions that are of interest to the mentor then they will surely be more of a help to me later in my own life.

The other thing that I thought would be interesting to do is the "My Life Plan". In particular, the bucket list of 50 things seems something that is very fun to do and will help me really tell what I want to get out of my life. The top 3 career choices will be a bit harder just because I don't really know what I want to do with my career later down the line so I hopefully will come up with some good careers to better fill that out.

 This week in class we did a cool assignment where we created a list of 50 things that we wanted to do in our lives. I had a hard time with this just due to the sheer amount of ideas that I had to come up with. However, after thinking about and asking around I eventually came up with a list of 50 things that I wanted to get out of my own life. Some of the ideas definitely stuck out more for me than others such as the big three that I ended up choosing for the discussion. The top three that I ended up choosing from my bucket list ended up being: be kind to myself, engage in acts of kindness weekly, and start my own business/side hustle. Being kind to myself is always my goal throughout my day. I sometimes can get down on myself for not being too great at certain things and I always try to remember the good in my life and all the other amazing things that I could be thinking about. The acts of kindness to others are also something that I struggle with a bit. I try my best to be kind ...

Entrepreneurial Blog #10

This week's issue is dedicated to entrepreneurship and self-improvement in the light of several readings and videos on what is needed to succeed in business and life. All of the readings were helpful in term of what it takes to be an entrepreneur. The readings include "The Challenge to Become" and "The Heart of Entrepreneurship" that emphasize the mindset and traits needed to cultivate an entrepreneurial spirit. The videos "Think Big," "License to Pursue Dreams," "Acton Hero Kathy Huber," and "Your Emotional Fingerprint" further illustrate these concepts through the telling stories of real-life instances and points of view.
