Cody's Entrepreneurship story
I do not have a direct Entrepreneurship story, but I have had some severe influences that have led me to adopt an entrepreneurial, adaptive, and open mind when it comes to business, technology, and medicine. I have a friend that has competed in the the UF big event competition for a start up app, that helps simplify time management complexities for individuals of a variety of ages, and his critical thinking, and open-mind for technology and entrepreneurship has rubbed off on me and led me to think vividly and openly, while developing an acute sense for problem solving in those specified fields for an array of individuals. I helped facilitate the sales process for this project, and helped provide the CEO with constructive criticism on how to solve the problems he has in front. It also helped open my mind to how demanding and intricate a career in entrepreneurship is. Entrepreneurship is not necessarily a fact-based approach for what I learned in that process, but people oriented, and how you can solve real-world problems in a pragmatic manner and be aware of the demand of what you are working on, while going with any field, your listening skills need to be unprecedented and be able to understand criticism from a variety of people, while leveraging that criticism in your favor and working toward your end goal.
Greetings Cody. Being able to recognize inefficiencies others may not be cognizant of is an impressive quality to possess, one that I'm sure has proven very useful for you in your personal and professional endeavors. You mentioned you're influences have caused you to adapt a more open and entrepreneurial mindset. Its important to have a mentor, or mentors that will push you along a path that will propel you toward success. It seems your time assisting your friend in the UF big event competition afforded you with an opportunity to become quite involved with the entrepreneurship process. Based on your story, it seems you utilized that time to hone your business acumen, while improving your ability to solve problems.
ReplyDeleteHey Cody, I am glad that you realize that Entrepreneurship is not a fact based approach, but rather its about identifying opportunities and working out ways to solve them. This post was very different than the other posts of the same topic but I enjoyed reading it. i'm sure the big idea competition helped you prepare for this class and the assignments in it. Good problem solving skills will take you very far in life no matter the field you choose to pursue.
