Gratitude, Lifelong Learning, Hurdles of the Enterprepreneur and the Risks

 

This is week 13 of the course of Introduction to the Entrepenurship. This week my Church leader taught about the gratitude. We should reflect and thanks those who have been helpful to us such as father, mother, teacher, friends, and especially God. After that I had to answer questions for my assignment.

Question: How did being a lifelong learner benefit Haykin's career? How could it benefit yours?

My Answer: 

Kaykin is a lifelong learner and his lifelong learning benefits so much to his career. He went to study at Harvard Business School. He focused on entrepreneurship and technology. His professors persuaded him to get experience in sales and dealing with customers so that he would become a leader someday, and he took the advice. He learned from his responsibilities as a Multimedia Developer Program manager. He had to do many tasks starting from development until product delivery and to work with many people. He learned to notice extra opportunities.  He learned about decision processes of large companies. Aiming to become an entrepreneur means that I have to learn forever about how to deal with new challenges and how to see new opportunities. Most importantly, I must keep learning how to identify and exploit the right opportunities. 

Question: What was Haykin's "toughest hurdle" as a business leader?

My Answer: 

Becoming a business leader comes with tough hurdles. Even though his income grew exponentially, he began to feel lonely and did not enjoy some of the business elements. His biggest hurdle was the balancing between family and work. He had difficulties in allocating time for the family and work. Another toughest hurdle was that his business did not go in the right direction. The project ended earlier than expected, the fund ran out, and felt like he misled his people. 

Question: Why do the risks of entrepreneurship seem worth it (or not worth it) to you?

My Answer: 

Becoming an entrepreneur has risks, but it is worth taking the risks. Creating ideas to satisfy the needs of someone else has risks, but it should be enjoyable and make life more meaningful. I will have the chance to think about the opportunities to contribute to others, checking to see if the opportunities are right for me, connecting to other people, thanking those who help me along the way. It should be fun to be flexible along the journey no matter how far I can achieve.

My Most Meaningful Habit: Begin with the End in Mind

  Out of the seven habits of highly effective people, my most meaningful habit it “Begin with the End in Mind”. The book reads “ There’s a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation. The first creation can be either by conscious design, or as a result of outside pressures. In real life, w hen the artist draws something, he already has a clear picture of what he is drawing. It is not possible that he draws when he is thinking about what to draw. If I have a clear vision of my destination, my efforts would be more effective and productive in my daily activities. When we begin with the end in mind, our lives cam be more meaningful and stay on the righteous personal constitution. The book explains that a personal constitution is a written standard, the key criterion by which everything is evaluated and direct. Personal constitution shows the end state in mind. It shows who we are, what we do and what valued we are based on. Without it, we will wander around back and ...
