This has been a
wonderful week for me. I have learned so much as I interviewed my Entrepreneur,
and also as I read the takeaways other students got from their interviews. We
have all been blessed this week with great advice and encouragement. One of the
best things I learned in my interview with Mr. Phillipson this week, was, “it’s
not enough to be financially savvy, you also have to show financial restraint.”
As I thought about this I realized, sometimes we have to accept a little less
on the front end, to reap greater rewards on the back end. Taking risks is what
entrepreneurs do, but their risks are carefully vetted and reviewed, they are
not just taking risks for risk’s sake.
In the “Launching
Leaders” video this week, Jim Ritchie spoke about a book “Your Emotional
Fingerprint” by Woody Woodward. Ritchie shared that in the book Woodward helps
you “develop a blue print for your feelings and emotions” which in turn helps
you understand why you react the way you do to situations, and how you can use
this to your benefit. I struggle with this, as I noted in last week’s post, and
feel I could greatly benefit from reading this book. More to follow on that....
