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. 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 entrepreneurial mindset of adaptability, resilience, and willingness to risk it all. 


Entrepreneurship is not just about establishing a business, but it is also an evolution of one becoming a leader capable of navigating uncertainty and grabbing opportunities no matter what may come your way. "The Heart of Entrepreneurship" explains the core traits of what makes an entrepreneur an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs do not only solve problems; they take the problem and innovate, always striving for a better way of adding value. The combination of vision, drive, and resourcefulness that distinguishes them from regular managers is underlined in this reading. This highlights that entrepreneurship goes far beyond ownership of a business and extends to anyone who proactively recognizes and acts on an opportunity. The video "Think Big" invites one to see the world outside the box of what they think they know. Success-oriented entrepreneurs usually set out to aim for big goals beyond their current capabilities, pushing them to reach even further. The video further supports the idea that bigger thinking will yield opportunities and further achievements.

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 ...
