7 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal Final Blog

 

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?

My advice goes with the first question: Never give up. Keep fighting until you accomplish your goals. Stay close to your family and spend quality time with them because it will fill your heart when you experience those ups and downs of the entrepreneur's life. Be consistent and show up every day, plant a seed, and even a thousand said no, another thousand could say yes. 

 

What words of advice, direction or caution would you give him or her if you had only one chance to give your own last lecture?

The entrepreneur's life is not easy, but it is rewarding. Maybe it will take a lot of time to build your dream and be stable, but the compensation is beyond understanding. Don't be afraid to push the boundaries; find that line you are so scared to cross and push it out further. It is expanding your horizons, conquer your fears!! Get out of your comfort zone; success isn't found in comfort zones. We can never set limits on going after our dreams. And never, ever stop dreaming. In dreams, we plant the seeds of our future.
