Week 14 Reflection

I was able to learn a lot of great things during this course. I really felt like my understanding of what goes into becoming an entrepreneur has been amplified. I think before taking this class, I misunderstood and even assumed a lot of things about what goes into becoming an entrepreneur. Now I feel like I have a greater understanding of the hard work, dedication, discipline and desire for greatness that comes with wanting to be an entrepreneur. I definitely think that not all people have the drive to become an entrepreneur, which is very normal. But I do think that it is important to have great people on your team who help you and support you in the best possible way. By understanding who really is willing to stick their neck out for your business and you, and help you succeed is something valuable to learn. I think that in this profession, it takes a lot of risk and also time to see how things play out for you. The hard work is never ending, you need to be dedicated, but also willing to compromise for your family and relationships. You will figure out what is best for you, your family and your business along the way. There is really no other side to it besides going through it. I desire for every person to be able to understand the importance of being a disciplined and hard-worker. I am grateful to learn more about this, and desire to develop more discipline within myself so that I can accomplish my goals and push my entrepreneurial career to the next level. Prepare your mind, prepare your soul, and prepare your circle of those who surround you. Make sure you are surrounded by positive and empowering individuals. You should be willing to give it your all, to sacrifice your desires for now in exchange for greatness in years to come. This will not be an easy path, this will be hard and you will have to leave your comfort zone in order to experience the whole of it, but I promise you that it will be worth it. If you really desire to become your own boss, and run your own business, you need to be dedicated even when it gets hard. Which trust me when I say, it sure will.

Week 13 Reflection

This week was great and I felt like I was really able to learn a lot of things from the Week 13 readings. I genuinely enjoyed what I learned from the case study we did on Randy Haykin. I felt like I was able to see so many different things in that case study and recognizing things I wish to do in my future. Randy's story is really a remarkable one, seeing the way that he was able to become an entrepreneur. It seemed as though he was almost pushed into the life of an entrepreneur due to deciding what was most important for him. It was so incredible and impactful to understand that when someone else was making a choice for him on what and where he needed to be for work, he decided that he wanted something else for himself and his family. He was able to make an incredible choice and figure out what was really important to him and in his life. He was able to make a big decision and never look back, and from there he started his entrepreneurial career. Randy was also able to triple his

Week 5 Reflection

 I really enjoyed this week's studies and all that I was able to learn. I especially enjoyed the case study that we reviewed on Mills and her business. One of my favorite things to learn about this case study, was seeing the importance of Mills and everything that went into the decisions she made. I think a lot of time, I personally have judged people who own businesses and do not really understand what goes into creating those businesses. I think it is important to understand the time and hard work that go into them. Personally, I feel like reading this case study helped me understand more about what I want to do in the future and how I would like to go about growing my business. I think that I would choose the faster growth option and be able to focus more of my efforts on the things I am really good at, but hire people out for the parts that may be harder for me to manage and/or understand. I think that this would be helpful for Mills in her business. I am excited to continue to

     There were a lot of interesting concepts that I was able to learn and better understand this week from the study materials that I had been given. I thought it was very interesting to learn more about how entrepreneurs work and how they can grow to experience and find success. I learned more about the importance in finding something that you are passionate about and feel that you could do every single day. This can end up being something that helps you become very successful in your life and business. I also thought it was interesting and great to learn about how you can figure out how to better yourself in whatever you do end up pursuing.       I am excited to figure out how I can better apply these principles into my professional and personal life and how they can help me better. I think that a lot of the times the best things we can do for ourselves is figure out how we learn and grow and learning from others or from our own experiences are especially helpful. I desire to do thi
