1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations?
What really stood out to me was the qualities that the entrepreneur's have, not that I didn't expect that entrepreneur's have many special qualities - but I was surprised by the fact that "tolerance for ambiguity" was listed.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
I was confused by the part of the chapter which spoke about commitment. It seemed as though he didn't have an alternate plan for a "rainy day" in case something with his business failed. He didn't have any thing to fall back on in case things weren't going to go in his favor.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
I would ask him what he thinks of all the new start ups that people are trying to create through things like shark tank, or what he thinks of movies and documentaries about entrepreneurship like the Facebook or Steve Jobs movie. I think have the opinion of a seasoned professional would be worth a lot.
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
I think when people invest more time and energy into a project, it becomes more successful. The author seemed to think that entrepreneurs who are very energetic are usually not very successful, but I think that their drive and motivation is what helps to make them more successful. Having the energy and will to pick yourself up after a hard day and keep going is crucial in a field like entrepreneurship.
