My first impression of the first short interview I had was that it was a big learning stepping stone for me. Here I was, asking someone established a piece of their mind, basically picking apart the components to success, in order to form my own pieces.
(Unfortunately, my entrepreneur did not want to be identified)
Me: So, revisiting the last time we met, what do you wish you could tell me, as one piece of advice?
Entrepreneur: To have heart. You can't do anything unless you believe in it yourself. If you're selling something you don't believe in, how far are you going to get?
Me: How do you instill that belief in your workers?
Entrepreneur: It's hard. Everyone has their own methods to being a boss. I just believe that if you embody the example you want to see, things should work out.
Me: Are there things you wish you could change?
Entrepreneur: Always. In business, you need to be able to change with the times.
This class has taught me that believing in yourself more than anything is the first step to success.
Lauren,
ReplyDeleteGreat blog post! I like his final response, where he stated that you have to always be able to change. It's very true, especially in today's society where so much is changing so quickly. Being the example is also paramount, because you just can't get away with being a bad person/example in a business leadership role and still succeed generally.

Hi Lauren! I like how you asked very short questions, but they still managed to go in depth about entrepreneurship! I think an important takeaway from this interview was that it is important to embody the example for others to follow- that is something not many business people remember! It's great that the class has taught you that believing in yourself is the first step to success, because that is definitely something I struggle with in life and it is super important to remember.
