Week 5

Do you believe that you have the potential to be great? 




Group 2 shared this great video on discovering the entrepreneur mind set. We only watch Part 1 in class, but I am excited to watch the rest and more of Les Brown's videos on my own.

This week we were given, "13 Habits of Highly Successful Entrepreneurs."


  1. Be Proactive
  2. Begin with the End in Mind
  3. First Things First
  4. Think Win/Win
  5. First Seek to Understand
  6. Create Synergy
  7. Sharpen the Saw
  8. Get your Education
  9. Make your Mark
  10. Get Prepared to be of Service
  11. Get up Early
  12. Work Hard
  13. Find Oil
We also discussed how Skill, Character, and Luck come into play on the entrepreneurial journey. From what I concluded, Character is probably the most important aspect of the journey. Entrepreneurs need to have a particular personality that makes them unique. They must be hard working and resilient. Failure is a way of life and for an entrepreneur, failure is even more inevitable because entrepreneurs take risks. Therefore, if you build your character according to entrepreneurial guidelines, you will be more likely to succeed. You only fail when you give up. 

Skill is also incredibly important and, as we said in class, can be intertwined with Character. By building relevant skills, business can increase and success is more reachable. Luck however, is mostly about being in the right place at the right time. It is not as dependable as skills and character which you have the ability to grow and sustain.
