Reading Reflection No.3 27A


1. The theme of the book I read is that as an entrepreneur you will have a multitude of failures but through those failures, you will find success.
2. The book discussed that a majority of failures will have something good come out of them such as an increased social network. Overall, the book relates to ENT3003 because it discusses an entrepreneur’s failed ventures and successful ventures and everything in between.
3. If I had to design an assignment for this book I would have students think of two or three failures that they have had and the benefits that they got from those failures.
4. Prior to reading the book, I didn’t realize that entrepreneurs often have an abundance of unsuccessful ventures. After reading the book, I am more eager to go for my dreams even if they are trivial or seem silly. Now I know that I can gain a lot from my failures.

    I read this book the first go round! It was such an interesting read that I feel like really added to the experience of this course. Failures are the biggest gift to entrepreneurs. They open their eyes and expose them to new ideas that can totally reshape their whole future. I think your activity with students would definitely be something worth trying.

    I like the concept of the book you read! I almost chose this to read, and may add it to my audible lis for later! I like your idea for an exercise for the course. We can learn a lot from evaluating our failures. Some of us may fail and move on to the next without really evaluating what else we might be able to discover is important from the failure we experienced. I'm glad the book inspired you to go for it! I've always thought that I fail more by not trying when I really want something instead of avoiding the risk that may be there.

    This book sounds like a good read at two critical points, when you have not failed often or when you have fail too often. Either way, it sounds like a good read to celebrate those times and how to overcome them. Often we fear failure so badly that we do not know how to face it, I really enjoy learning the why's in everything I do. This book sounds like it applauds those hard times.

My Entrepreneurship Story 3A

My Entrepreneurship Story Entrepreneurship. Some people find this word intimidating; however, my family has a lengthy history of taking the bull by the horns. Let’s begin with my grandpa on my mom’s side, he began working as an electrician in the 1970s alongside my great-uncle. Together, they formed their own electrical business which is still operating to this day. On my dad’s side of my family my grandpa owned and operated a moving company which he built from the ground up. Eventually, he had five different locations across the country. Then, there’s my mom’s mother, my Mimi. She bought a balloon shop and a floral shop. She combined the two and was a successful florist for 15 years. My grandparents’ business ventures must have encouraged my parents to do the same. Today, my dad and mom own an electrical business. My dad started out as an electrician for my grandpa, but decided he wanted to work for himself. So, he left my grandpa’s company and assumed his o...
