My Reflection: My Experience Of Entrepreneurship

Improved Essays
Readings in entrepreneurship was very beneficial to my experience of my knowledge of entrepreneurship as a whole. Before this class I’ve had a limited experience with entrepreneurship. The very basics of entrepreneurship was all I was taught. This paper will describe to you what I have now learned through this experience with this class and how I will use what I learned to better myself in the future. The first book Dave Ramsey: Entreleadership probably taught me the most I have ever learned about entrepreneurship. I learned to live my dreams and chase my visions. Dave taught me that the difference between a dreamer and entrepreneur is that whether they can convert that dream into a goal. I remember him saying that you need to have great …show more content…
There is a lot of content in that book that I absorbed. Some of the major concepts I took from this book were about the different ways to treat people. People around you matter more than anyone else. Without them you might not be where you’re at today. They have helped in more ways that you can think of and vis versa. As a friend or employer you need to respect what they need and work with it. It’s not always about you. You need to tend to people’s needs around you and keep them happy because in the end they are the ones keeping you happy. Treat the people who work for you well. Respect what they tell you and don’t just brush it off. Genuinely hear and listen to what they have to say and show that you care. The more you do that the more they will respect you and care for your wants and …show more content…
The magic of working together. This was a great book about teamwork. I taught me that in life there will be some obstacles that you can’t conquer yourself. You will need help in order to accomplish this task. Teamwork can be a very powerful thing. If you and your team work together in the best possible way you will be able to accomplish things you would have never even thought possible. The book said that none of us is as smart as all of us. I one hundred percent agree with that. As much as some people like working alone and by themselves, I don’t think that they can ever get as much done as a team could, by working together. Teamwork can be very underestimated, especially if you don’t know your own potential or have trouble seeing what can get accomplished. Two brains is better than one. Well most of the

    In the book Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, there were four principles to live by. This included: 1) be impeccable with your words, 2) don’t take anything personally, 3) don’t make assumptions and 4) always do your best. One of the major lessons that I derived from the book was to speak with integrity, to say only what you mean and not use your words as a tool to spread false rumours or gossips that can hurt others but instead use it to spread the truth and love.…

    Boarding school was liberating, so much so that I focused almost solely on my computer science passion to the detriment of other subjects. I founded the Programming Club to teach peers to code well beyond the two school computer science (CS) classes offered, resulting in furthering my coding knowledge to prepare for growing classes. Naively, I plotted ideas to become the "next big thing". Needless-to-say my report cards showed one cannot be a genius without studying.…

    Reflection Paper II Throughout my college experience here in the Carroll School of Management, group work and the ability to work well with others has been emphasized greatly. This makes sense, because in a professional environment, the ability to communicate, listen and contribute within a group leads to success and the achievement of goals. However, none have gone on as long as this project, making it a more realistic example of working on a team. Junior year of college is definitely a crazy time, as we are forced to balance heavy workloads with extracurriculars and recruiting.…
