  If you had one final lecture to share with a group of students on what you have learned from this course, what would you share? I would share one of my favorite lessons and is "Do want you love". This is so important. Steven Jobs said, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." We need to stop making excuses, and follow our dreams, work hard to make it happen. It is essential to discover how to profit from our passion while being realistic and being surrounded by supportive people. I didn't how important it is to find a good mentor because it is a pillar for our foundation. And lastly, focusing on ourselves is crucial because many people can discourage you, so focusing on our path instead of what other people think is essential.    What would be your last bit of advice to someone wanting to begin the entrepreneur journey?

  This week's lesson was fascinating. And the book Field Guide for the Hero's Journey was useful, but my favorite one during this semester was Launching leaders. My favorite video was Hero's Journey, Corey Bell. His first job was with his grandfather, which was a brick mason when he was eight. He worked with Nabisco, Chrysler, Centurion Holding, and even Dell, but he wasn't happy.

Being able to go in and see all of the people whose lives have changed, it's just been a remarkable thing to be able to see lives touched from an idea that we hatched around the dinner tab...
