Entrepreneurial #5

 For the one of the assignment this week we were asked to create a personal board that would be advising my personal life decisions. The people that I ended up choosing were Warren Buffet, Elon Musk, Ben Franklin, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Theodore Roosevelt, and Jesus Christ. Each of these people have great life lessons to pick out  from. From Kobe Bryant's never give up mentality, to Elon Musk's ability to think outside the box. The last one I did end up having a hard time choosing but I believe Michael Jordan was a good choice. Despite his life being similar to Kobe Bryant's it's just so hard to leave an imprint on not only just a sport but the entire world. Leaving a lasting imprint on the world is hard but I believe that Michael Jordan was able to do this because of his skill and the decisions he made at a young age in order to better himself. 

The other assignments were more essay based those being an actual essay paper and one as a discussion. For the discussion regarding the Crazy Socks company is truly something that inspires me to be a better person. Taking the time to make a company to be so inclusive is no easy feat. Despite having their struggles for a time they ensured and were able to come out of the trenches making a company that was able incorporate those that were not able to be incorporated before. In my own life if I could even have this impact on just one person I believe that would make my life so much more complete in the long run. Making something like that is something not anyone can do it takes someone who will never back down and never give up no matter what comes up in their own life.

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 answ...

 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 ...

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. The personal transformation in "The Challenge to Become" includes a personal transformation towards achieving one's maximum potential. To succeed means one does not just learn facts or skills but instead becomes the person able to effectively apply them. It is compatible with the entrepren...
