The answers that I received from Leo during my first interview were very deep and insightful. The fact that the classroom is merely a connector between the students is a valuable piece of knowledge that should be utilized for schools across the nation.
Me: “What challenges does an entrepreneur face on a daily basis?”
Leo: “The fact of scarcity is always present. There are always more things to get done everyday than we have time for, and that is okay. It is our job to prioritize. This is the key to a sustainable future.”
Me: “What is one advice you would give to people who are looking to be entrepreneurs?”
Leo: “Do not be afraid to fail. I know it sounds cliche, but going into a project knowing that the outcome does not matter is the reckless and lethal mindset that an entrepreneur must have.”
Me: “What is a habit that successful entrepreneurs possess?”
Leo: “Reading. This is the best way to obtain knowledge. It is like living through multiple people, and when they fail, you can learn from their failures even if you haven’t had the same problem yet. Reading is often overlooked, but it is the way to more success in this growing technological world.”
I am now a lot more comfortable talking about entrepreneurship as compared to three months ago. I feel that I have grown as a person and as a student studying entrepreneurship. Leo did think that I progressed in my journey as an entrepreneur. After discussing my venture, he thought that it would be implementable. Although there will be trials and tribulations, that is with any great concept.

ReplyDeleteHi Max,
ReplyDeleteYou asked some very good questions. Leo's response about reading was interesting. I agree that reading is very often overlooked but is a great way to gain "experience", in a way, without personally going through what the author went through. It's great that you have been able to get something out of this course. Hopefully our time in this class will translate to success in our careers!
Thanks for sharing! Here's a link to my post. http://jamestyrrell.blogspot.com/2016/04/very-short-interview-part-2.html
