Steve Jobs

In this video, Steve Jobs talks about his life as an entrepreneur. Something that sticks out to me is to do something and follow something you love to do. Life's to short to do something you don't like. He also says that death is just another path. He says its like clearing out the old and bringing out the new. A quote that he says is "stay hungry. and stay foolish". The way i see this is never be satisfied and always take risks.

Shark Tank- Mr Todd's Pie Factory

In this episode of shark tank, Mr Todd wants to offer his pie company and was willing to give up 10% of his company to one of the sharks. In the end one of the sharks offered to invest into his company in exchange for 50% of his company. I think that he made the right choice in the end because this money is going to improve his buisness and maybe the buisness will get a little bigger and he will be making more money then he ever dreamed of.

John D Rockefeller

John D Rockefeller was one of the greatest entrepreneurs in American history. And it all started from oil. What i learned from him and his ways is that you can start from little to nothing and as long as you go outside your bubble or comfort zone then your able to succeed. All the entreprenuers we have learned about all have the same common goal and that is to just push your limits and to take risks.

Mike Kind Lecture

In todays lecture Mike talked about how he started his own buisness and just how he started with next to nothing at the age of 18 when he was in his dads garage door buisness. After that he started a garbage collecting company and it ran for about 9 years. He was able to pay for a morgage at 21. He was telling us just to stop at nothing and keep pushing your limits and take those risks thatll get you that extra mile.

Who am I

In my own opinion i believe that i am a creative and imaginative person. I like to think about things a lot and i like to "daydream" a lot as well. When I'm walking around I like to just look at things like the mountains and just think about forgetting ever thing and just climbing one. I can also see myself being a loyal and trusting person. I'm also spiritual, I go to church and read my bible and go to youth. I think these words best describe who I am, but like I said this is just in my opinion. My friends could see me as a totally different person.

Sir Richard Branson

Sir Richard Branson is the founder and owner of Virgin, and there are many other different branches of this company that are run by other people. One of his major success was that all of his employees talk to one another about what they are doing. Branson thought that if you can run one company you can run any company. He didn't care about putting his dignity on the line when it came to furthering his business. One of his big projects is his space shuttle that is still in progress. He has also made his on reality TV show and he loves to explore and has come close to death many times. One thing that stands out about Branson is that he had dyslexia and wasn't even able to tell the difference between net and gross pay. Sir Richard is also concerned about the issues in the world like global warming, and has gone to Africa and is trying to coordinate the central problems. He owns his own private island in the Caribbean and has gone to prison before. Sir Richard Branson is one of the greatest entrepreneurs of all time.

How to kill the entreprenurial spirit

In the article "How To Kill The Entrepreneurial Spirit" the writer talks about how people make there own business without even thinking about the essentials. In order to start a business you have to think what are people going to buy that's going to give me cold hard cash and will sell for a while before I come up with my next product idea. A lot of people assume that you can just start a business and make something that wont even sell. A business owner needs to set up a team and you have to be able to talk to each other instead of then working against each other (the silo affect).

Confidence

I guess where I started being confident in my self was when I went to youth for the first time. They taught us lots of strategies on how to be confident in ourselves. I was new to the group and wasn't very confident in my not only my social life but myself in general. The group was all very accepting. We met new people and made new friends and that's how we gained confidence and I use these techniques but in a modified way from time to time.

First post.

Entrepreneurship 12

Ent. 12 in my opinion is all about confidence building and attitude reflects you confidence. The more effort and heart you put into something the more you feel better about what you achieved. If you cheat on a test and get an A isn't as good of a feeling as if you study hard and write the test and get a B. Entrepreneurship is going to be a big confidence builder for me I hope.
