In my “Introduction to Entrepreneurship” class this week, I
learned 2 things. Well I learned more than 2 but these are the 2 I would like to share.
No. 1 – I was
inspired by a paper written by Jeff Sandefer. I learned that I don’t only
have to be in business to be an Entrepreneur, I can apply the skills learned
and used by Entrepreneurs in every aspect of life. In order to be successful, I
must put my fears aside, make a bold move and go for it. Most of my life, I
have sat quietly on the sidelines, trying to blend into the wallpaper, but I
realize I have worth, and what I have to say matters. I am excitedly and
expectantly looking to the future.
No. 2 – Use time
wisely – it’s a precious commodity. I had a task to complete this week. I
had an hour to complete it, but was done in about 15 minutes. When I finished
the task, I thought I should use the remaining time and review the information
I had available to me. It was late, I had a busy day at work, so I ignored my
inner voice. I tried to justify my choice with, “You know the material. You
know the answers. Trust your gut, follow your first instinct.” I failed at my
task. I wasted 45 perfectly good minutes, all because I was arrogant and
decided not to review the material. Lesson learned. I will make better use of
my time and review, review, review.
