This week I had the chance to read about some myths on
entrepreneurship. Some of these myths I felt I already knew and some I
previously believed. After reading these myths I was able to have a clearer
idea of what an entrepreneur actually was. I then took these myths and shared
them with family, friends, and colleagues. The individuals I shared them with
were also able to develop a better understanding of entrepreneurship. Then
after sharing these myths I asked them to compare me to a successful entrepreneur.
The shock didn’t come in the actual results, but it came in the results I
wanted to hear.
Everyone loves to hear how well they do things, and they
love hearing the positives things people have to say about them. Hearing these
compliments is necessary to help people develop, but also builds confidence.
However, as I have gone through this course I have been able to find my
strengths, which is very valuable, but unlike in previous times in my life I
salivate at the thought of hearing something negative about myself.
During this course I have sought constructive criticism and
found that is where I have learned the most. As I have attempted to change
behaviors, apply new concepts, and stretch my limits I have seen more
progression in myself than ever before. I see myself more comfortable and
confident doing things I would have avoided before. I am more aggressive with
my success and see more hope and a brighter future. These results and feelings
make me crave criticism like I never have before. As I continue to apply my
strengths and work on my weaknesses I will be more capable of helping myself
and others.
