Musings Week 3

If I could take away one thing from everything I have learned so far in this class, it would be that entrepreneurs are positive and persistent.  They are also restless, which is a trait that I find wholeheartedly relateable.

I am looking forward to finishing the book "Launching Leaders." Steven Hitz is able to weave the importance of spirituality with a career in such a way that makes me less afraid to pursue my dreams. His advice is sincere, simple, and not overwhelming. I look forward to learning from more entrepreneurs and their experiences.

I learned that Magdalena Yesil is a lifelong learner. She is an example to women (and men) everywhere. I learned that the consumer does not believe that a product is a great idea. They want it to work. They have a need for the product and have expectations. Everything I learned was valuable and felt important enough for me to read through after I watched the video.

I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from entrepreneurial veterans.  Their ventures at times seem so surreal- they mostly stick to technological endeavors- something I have no interest or knowledge in, so I feel undereducated, but I reminded myself that my gifts and interests lie in different areas and I am not so sure that I would want to trade those gifts for anything else.

All in all, I have been actively absorbing the material and I know it is valuable and important for me to retain.
