One big part of the reading that stood out to me and even surprised me was the section on the Entrepreneurial Mind-Set. It was surprising to me that a mind-set could be broken down and into so many categories. It was also talked about a lot in depth. The categories were Determination and Perseverance, Drive to Achieve, Opporunity Orientation, Persistent Problem-Solving, Seeking Feedback, to name a few. There was a description for every aspect an entrepreneur should have. From what I grasped from the reading, an entrepreneur needs to be well-rounded, motivated, creative, and have a true passion for whatever they are pursuing. There is such a strong emphasis on working hard for your goal as an entrepreneur because to become successful you have to do it on your own.
I found the Dark Side of Entrepreneurship a little confusing at first. After I read into the section I discovered that risk can be a huge 'road-block' for any entrepreneur. It is often hard for an individual to take that first risk, as the consequences can be substantial. After I thoroughly understood the section, I realized it was an important point to mention. There are potential consequences for almost every entrepreneurial venture people take.
My first question would be what characteristics are the most important within the Entrepreneurial Mind-Set to focus on, as there are many. I would want to know this info to be a strong entrepreneur. Secondly, I would ask for clarification on the 'Metacognitive Perspective'. It was an interesting section and I understood the great majority of it but the metacognitive model was a tad confusing for me. I would want to know how to process my brain to gain an edge on my competitors as an entrepreneur.
I agreed strongly with the whole Entrepreneurial Mind-Set. The author made solid points and listed many strong characteristics an entrepreneur needs.
