Week 14 Reading reflection

First let’s start off with chapter 3. This chapter talks about the entrepreneurship mind set. I would have thought that we would have been assigned this chapter at the begging in of the school year but it makes sense that we are doing this now. This whole class is about the mindset so this is a really important chapter for this class. I personally think this chapter is really relevant, even if you aren’t getting ready to open a business it’s so important to have a positive outlook on life. My favorite part about the chapter is the chart on page 58. This list common obstacles that you might face in a new venture and solutions. I think this could be really helpful because personally I think it’s better to be aware of the possibilities instead of finding things out on your own. This would save you time money and headaches. There’s nothing really in this chapter that I don’t agree with. Like I said before I think this chapter is really relevant and important. And it’s funny because a couple months ago I would have thought differently. If I could ask the author a question it would be when did he start getting into the mindset and how did things change for him afterwards. Chapter 4 goes hand in hand with chapter 3 and it’s probably why we were assigned to read them at the same time. This chapter talks about ethics and ethical challenges. If you think about it how you go about your morals really affects your mindset in your business and this is why I think this is an important topic to discuss. Also ethics is something really recent too. Before ethics wasn’t something you were taught in school, if anything ethics and morals derived from your atmosphere at home or your religion. But, I believe at least, after social media took off and the internet it is now a lot easier to see when someone does something wrong or controversial this allows us to form opinions and punishment. And in effort to try and prevent further ethical problems, our society has imbedded ethics into schools at an early age. Environmental awareness is one of my favorite sections. We really need a green revolution in this day in age but not enough people are taking it seriously or doing something about it. Even something as simple as recycling can make such a difference. If I could ask the author one questions it would be what were some of the hardest ethical challenges he has faced in his life time?
