Assignment 2A
All week, I have been working my brain, trying to get it to remember of a time that I was exposed to entrepreneurship. I have lived a pretty simple life, and do not feel like I have truly encountered a time, or a person, that has left me with an entrepreneurial impression. Shows like Shark Tank often times leave me boggled and amazed at the ideas that people come up with. What leaves me even more astounded, is the way they execute these ideas and make them a reality. My mother, long ago, was a business owner herself. She owned her own bake shop, and produced incredible creations for her customers. However, with the arrival of three kids, she decided it was best she close the business, and dedicate her time to us. Now that she is nearly finished raising all of us, she expresses her desire to reopen her business and get back into her passion. But as most of us know, reopening a business isn't as easy as we all may hope. Watching her long for something so badly, and not being able to execute it due to financial reasons saddens me, and even puts me off from the whole idea of creating something. This is why I joined ENT3003. I have never been in a setting with an energy as entrepreneurial as this one has revealed so far.
Currently, I am a pre-law student with big dreams of accomplishing a lot in the field. I have a life-long goal of becoming a judge some day, but I know I have a lot of work to complete before I even get close to that goal. One thing I wish to achieve along the way is an entrepreneurial and business mindset. I wish to flex my way of thinking, and perfect different points of view. To me, perspective means a lot, and I seem to have trouble thinking outside the box. I am already having a hard time coming up with a belief for assignment 3a., and I feel like this says a lot about my creativity. With this class, I hope to grow better in that sense. I speculate that becoming good at thinking outside the box comes with practice, and I expect to practice this discipline with this class's workload.
Hey Gabriela,
ReplyDeleteI have always really respect law student because study law needs a lot commitment and time. You don't have to rush to come up with some brilliant business idea. I think the premise of generating a good idea must be that the personal knowledge reserve has accumulated to a certain extent. I believe you are on the right track!
Hi Gabriela,
ReplyDeleteI admire your honesty when it comes to telling an entrepreneurial story because I think it is difficult for any young person to think of a time when they truly felt like an entrepreneur. I also enjoy the show shark tank and I believe there is a lot to be learned from others successes and failures that are shown on the show. Keep working hard towards your goal of becoming a judge! That is an amazing goal to have.
